Cecilia, you're breaking my heart. :-) Ok, true - B hand is not "B" in some cases. I couldn't say whether they are exceptions or not. I do know that the "B" hand is used in "beer", "brown", "blue", "bitch", "breakfast", "bachelor", "bake", "bastard", "be", "bet". In these cases, it's obvious that the "B" hand denotes the beginning letter. For ASL, anyway.
