The first is that the thicker part of the “C” is the finger side, so you have a couple of hands upside-down. The other issue is with the white palm facing. I know there are two different approaches for writing this facing with angle/hinge/bent/curve hands. One is that every sign has a center, and as such, these fingers should be directed to the center. The other is that the thumb should be one the side as it is in real life, which is what it looks like you are following here. I personally follow the first approach.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><img apple-inline="yes" id="5B04E019-F067-4CC1-9D0F-CA0D238C45A6" width="191" height="220" src="cid:ii_kze89h9w1" class=""></div></div></blockquote></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I think you mean “chair”, but I am not sure why the base hand also has bent fingers. They are never bent when I sign this. In fact, I am starting to not write the other fingers as bent as well, personally, because I notice I rarely actually bend the fingers. Same with several of my friends as well.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""> <img apple-inline="yes" id="CD5F2391-09FB-4E7D-B89F-2D383CCC16F7" width="191" height="191" src="cid:ii_kze89y2i2" class=""> </div></div></blockquote></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I think you mean “sit”. The same issue with chair applies here as well. I noticed you used touch for chair instead of grasp like you did for sit. Not that it’s wrong, but I thought it was interesting.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><img apple-inline="yes" id="FE17099C-4A0A-423A-85D2-FDC6E50EA445" width="138" height="211" src="cid:ii_kze8ay5y4" class=""></div></div></blockquote></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I think you mean “dog”, but the movement arrows actually mean the arm travels. There are other arrows that means the fingers move that are needed here. The almost look like general movement arrows, but smaller. I also question if it is actually a back and forth rub movement, or if it is a back-back brush movement.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><img apple-inline="yes" id="10784023-D954-4F95-BB40-028D053A9DE2" width="203" height="255" src="cid:ii_kze8ag323" class=""></div></div></blockquote></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I have no clue what this sign is. I would read it as a fist that is facing away coming diagonally up-right to the chin to touch and then moves back towards the throat, all with a kiss shaped mouth. Were you trying to write “kiss fist”?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><img apple-inline="yes" id="8A669675-B744-4D66-988A-4FA136AF6C9A" width="158" height="128" src="cid:ii_kze8low59" class=""> <img apple-inline="yes" id="4280D299-CCAA-4F5C-BCE2-E9E34D38471E" width="173" height="208" src="cid:ii_kze8ozuo10" class=""> <img apple-inline="yes" id="F0BA5472-402C-4CF7-BDE7-C7038E8E3C26" width="164" height="217" src="cid:ii_kze8pgkd11" class=""> <img apple-inline="yes" id="4EEF4D5D-751E-4C94-838B-CCE77714BC90" width="163" height="239" src="cid:ii_kze8pwff12" class=""></div></blockquote></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The rest I actually have no idea what they mean. I could try reading them like I did above, but they don’t feel like good guesses to me. 6 has a handshape that looks constructed and I am not sure what is meant by it because the fingers aren’t placed in the normal convention. 7, 8, and 9 look like they are various forms of “eating”, but the handshape is only with the index and thumb rather than all of them so it leads me to think they have to do with a bird pecking at the face.</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
