<P><FONT face="Arial Black" size=2>List,<BR><BR>I just put the sign for rain in
the BSL dictionary, like this: <IMG alt="" hspace=0

<P><FONT face="Arial Black" size=2>What has happened to the hand in the IMWA
that the thumb is sticking out at right angles from the back of the palm? This
makes no sense to me but I couldn't find the old handshape with a completely
black palm and the thumb drawn as a line on the opposite side to the baby
finger.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Arial Black" size=2>Is the sign as I've written it correct (the
palms should be facing down, though slightly angled in the direction of motion),
or is the simple spread hand handshape still available?</FONT></P>
