<DIV>Whether that is with the fingers linked and that hands facing the reader (as in casamiento) or in a variant of the sign for "good friends" (in that case the index fingers hook) so that the small fingers linking means "lovers" not "friends", I am looking at what the origin of the meaning of the sign might me.  </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>While I was working in the Argentine Sign Language dictionary a new situation came up. I think that an extra handshape is necesary. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>I found a workaround using two hanshapes overimpossed. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>The sign in the figure is self explanatory.</FONT></DIV>
