arms and shoulders (SKOLA II - SCHOOL)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Hello,<BR><BR>ASL sign YOUNG is made on a chest, isn't it?
SKOLA (school) is made in the left underarm.<BR><BR>AFAIK the ethymology
(origin) of the sign SKOLA... it is from putting a school-bag (looks little
bit like a briefcase, or an attache) into your underarm, between your body and
your arm. The right hand represents the bag.<BR><BR>The right hand
shape-orientation at the beginning is palm facing down, fingers and palm in 90
degrees and thumb is in free position (doesn't follow the hand).<BR>There is
an axial movement in the wrist of the hand. It is movement back-under and then
you touch your armpit. Then you do the movement and touch again.<BR>So your
left arm should not be close to your body.<BR><BR>
