Fingerspelled words, of course, have several handshapes. A sign's parameters should include all the handshapes used in the sign. </span></p><p class="rvps2" style="margin: 9px 0px 3px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="rvts6" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 14.666666030883789px; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">SooSL knows over 200 different handshapes. That doesn't include every handshape in every sign language. (In fact, linguists still don't know all the different handshapes that are used in the world's sign languages.)

That's okay, just use the handshape that is most like the one you want.</span></p><p class="rvps2" style="margin: 9px 0px 3px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="rvts6" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 14.666666030883789px; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">Sometimes it is hard to see the details of a handshape.
