I think the ring finger is just sort of hanging there loosely. I could be wrong, may be influenced by the fact that what you describe is not an allowable handshape in ASL (nor JSL?? I dunno.....)..... >The next movement isn't clear enough. I guess (again) that he touches > his >palm of the C-handshaped left hand parallel to the floot palm inside with - >-with what ?? This part I had a hard time seeing. I played it in ultra slow motion, and it became clear (to me, anyway (@_@) that he was just passing his hand from the first shape to the D-handshape: In the process, it passed the left hand in such a way that it looks like it is doing something, but it really is just passing through..... >Next frame: >Joe you picked the curved singel-stem to the right - indicating that > he >moves his right hand like in you (many persons) . >I would rather identify a small up down curve to the right - and therefore >i picked the douhble-stemmed arrow - do you agree ? Yes, I do. that would be better. >Joe you can see his cheeks filled with air ?

I cna''t see that - > I >voted for the W-hand - Again, you are right. It is a W-hand; little finger bent over and helf by thumb tip--other fingers extended. Thank you for directing my attention to this. Sloppy writing--I'll do better :-) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
