One tiny detail I would add, is the Tension Symbol combined with the Touch Contact Star. When Tension-Touch are written together, it means "to press against". In this case, the fingertips are "pressing against each other" while the wrist movement occurs...</div><div><br></div><div>See the attached diagram....to the right of your sign is an example of the sign for WALLET in ASL. The fingertips press against each other in that sign too...<br></div><div><br></div><div>Have a great day!
