Hello Gabriel,<br><br>I went to the Dublin University Sign Language site and noted what seemed to be the fingerspelling for S-I-G-N in ISL.<br><br>Differences from ASL<br><br>G is a squared ASL "9". I show it on a square as the fingertips don't touch, the thumb is behind.<br><br>N is a tight fist with two fingers. I show it from the Group 10 hands.<br><br>Here is my transcription of it.<br><br><br> <table border="1" cellpadding="5"><tbody><tr><td><img src="http://www.signbank.org/SignPuddle1.5/image.php?build=01-10-011-01-03-01,113,20,01-06-008-01-03-01,113,46,01-09-001-01-03-01,113,74,01-10-008-01-03-01,114,116,"><div><b>Sign</b></div></td><td><div>S-I-G-N in Irish Sign Language. </div> <div>Note that the "N" is not the ASL "N" but a a tight fist.</div></td></tr></tbody></table><br><br><b><i>Valerie Sutton <sutton@signwriting.org></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left:
