I had a project to gather and document a word list from a native signer from South Korea. My team ran across two handshapes we cannot find.<br> <br> The first you can make the shape by extending all your fingers on one hand, then draw the tips together to form a circle, but don't
touch. It is like holding a golf ball with your just your finger tips while keeping the fingers extended, but flexed at the proximal Knuckle.<br> <br> The other is like having your hand cupped with these adjustments: the thumb is spread from the palm, the pinky is fully flexed with it's tip touching the palm, the ring is a bit lest flexed, the middle even less, and the index is hooked but not extended. If you pretend you are holding a stop watch you'll probably have it.<br><br><br>Any suggestions as to what hand shape to use?
