|
>(LIU = "lughat ul-'ishaarat il-'urduniyya"), and have run into a >handshape which I have not found in the SW material. It is a tight fist, >with the tip of the index finger touching the inside of the thumb >knuckle. If you look at the thumb side of the hand, it resembles a >written "9" -- which is good, since it is a signed number "9" in LIU, as >well as a fingerspelled letter "waw". LIU also has a two-handed form of >"9" ("4+5", as used in international gesture), but I'm not composing -- >I'm transcribing. Any ideas? ----------------------------------------- SignWriting List February 7, 2000 First, take a look at this web page: Brazilian Fingerspelling Keyboard https://www.SignWriting.org/fkey055.html and look at the Brazilian number 6 and 9...both use that handshape as an open fist.... The attached .GIF shows the tight fist with a protruding thumb, and the open fist with a protruding thumb. The .GIF shows different rotations and palm facings to give you an idea how the symbol looks as the hand turns. The dot in the middle of the square represents the protruding finger....the side view shows the side of the finger.... | ||||||||||||
