ASL would expand those words into longer phrases to describe what they mean, rather than have a single lexical equivalent. Having said that, I know how I would sign those particular concepts.... I'll put them in the puddle shortly.

Greetings everyone! <br>
My name is Sharon, and I am new to the message board. I am fairly new to sign writing, and I am quite amazed with the whole process. I have a nephew who is deaf, and I work as a sign language interpreter in area schools. I would love to see signwriting become more "mainstream." <br>
<br>
I have been looking for a few signs to use in my work, but have had no luck finding them. I was wondering if anyone out there could help. :-) I am looking for signs for:<br>
<br>
solar system<br>
planet<br>
rings(as in Saturn)<br>
and, if there are signs for the proper names of the planets of our solar system besides Earth.<br>
<br>
It's a pleasure to "meet" everyone, and thanks in advance for any help I receive.<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>
