Etymology of Numbers in ASL?

[Fischer Susan]

There's some historical data in a paper of mine.  Here's the reference, which Gallaudet library should have:
Fischer, S. (1996).  By the numbers: Language-Internal Evidence for Creolization.  In W. Edmondson & R. Wilbur, eds, International Review of Sign Linguistics, vol.1. Pp. 1-22. Hillsdale, NJ: Erlbaum.
