<P>Hello Val and list,</P>
<P>I see the way you wrote it. And I do have some questions.</P>
<P>So you prefer the 5 handshape.. because the way we actually sign it is not with the 5 handshape but the hand is a little more closed. So sometimes you take different handshapes considering what you think people will read easier? </P>
<P>I'm not sure about the contact symbol. The way I sign it, the right hand starts on top of the left hand and closes into the C-shape. But the C-shape does not grasp the right hand.</P>
<P>Greetings Kathleen<BR><BR></P></DIV>
