<DIV>It looks as if you are holding the index finger out, and the J hand face down and to the side. I can understand it from your explanation but it looks very awkward. Old ASL had a similar sign with the left index finger pointed to the right and the J hand flopping over it, like turning the pages to a calendar forward and back, not to the side. Is this what you intended, or does the action go left to right.</DIV>
