Subject:  Re: re; squeeze and Hinge


I just want to make sure I understand this distinction:

- The "hinge" motion uses just the "first" joints - the ones that connect
the fingers to the palm of the hand.

- The "squeeze" motion uses all three of the finger joints.

Is this right? I think there are some signs that use just the
second and third joints - would they be hinge or squeeze motion?
