I guess we'll have to wait for IMWA-2 (smile). One can draw either one, one just can't put it on system yet.<br><br><br><br><b><i>Jason Hopkins <codenosher@YAHOO.COM></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <style type="text/css"><!-- DIV {margin:0px;} --></style><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">I think the first is very, but our index finger needs to be hooked, too. <br><br>The second is also close, but we would not be touching the thumb.<br><br>We thought about the last one, too, but decided it shows the fingers flexed where ours are extended.<br><br>By the way, in the past I was able to find an Ethiopian fingerspelling chart with drawn hands.

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? What other info do you need? <br><br>-Jason<br></div></div><br> <hr size="1">Need Mail bonding?<br>Go to the <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank"
