<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I thought hooked 8s might be the 'feeling

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Can you figure out which <u>sign</u>
they mean when they say "hooked 8s to open 5s" ?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">How about "flat hand on open palm,
back"</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Of course it doesn't really matter,
part of what I'm trying to prove is that that (above) really makes no sense
unless you already know the specific sign they mean. I have been
signing for over 20 years, and I can't tell what signs those are referring
to... If SignWriting was used in place of that-- there would
be no question of what sign was meant-- even if you didn't know the sign
you could "feel it out" (as opposed to "sound it out"

<br><font size=3>I can read this sign just fine, it says exactly what you
mean to say, and I've seen it in action. They may meen "feeling
finger" for "hooked 8 hand". </font>

I am trying to spell this sign... Its in a reading program for Deaf
kids called Fairview, if any of you are familiar with it... They
use it as a sign for "give out," meaning exhausted, too tired
to do anything. They have it glossed as "fall flat," and
describe it as "legs on open palm, back" Here is my rough
attempt to write what I think they mean:</font><font size=3> <br>
<br>
</font><img src=cid:_1_02733D040621B7680041CEAD852571C5><font size=2 face="sans-serif">
Is it spelled reasonably correctly? The V hand
falls with a loop-di-loop, then smacks onto the open palm, then pulls back
along the hand.</font><font size=3> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
We are trying to show how SW can be integrated with current teaching materials
to make everyone's life easier. </font><font size=3> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
Another gloss they have for "Give out" is 'fall flat 2'-- "flat
hand on open palm, back" and one glossed as exhausted-- "hooked
8s to open 5s" I know what "closed fists to open 5s"
is (another one on the same card), but I can't figure out the hooked 8s...
Do any of you know which signs these phrases might be referring to?</font><font size=3>

Thanks for all your help!</font><font size=3> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
