Not necessarily contact, but essentially yes. Maybe more along the lines of wondering about ASL words which are written by placing a right hand glyph on a head glyph by where the left eye would be drawn.</div>

I don't have specific signs. I wrote a program to analyze the entire dictionary. Most of it makes sense. The right ear is a common location while the left ear is a rare location for a right hand to be. Except for where the eyes would be drawn. The left eye
shows as more common than the right eye.</div>

But that does give me an idea. I could alter my program to report the words and confirm what I'm seeing so far. That's probably a better way to approach it.</div>
