<DIV>Hi Valerie, </DIV>

<DIV>In looking at Juliette's attempt, I'd agree with her. The closing angles, to me, automatically indicate full closure, if the thumb is shown, and I'd probably show the closed position rather than the open one. Like the ASL sign for "NO" NO", unless there is some unusual middle movement, I'd assume full closure for a foreign language. </DIV>
