Minimal Pair question

Sat May 22 02:21:29 UTC 2004

TRAIN and CHAIR are often cited as a minimal pair set in ASL (the difference being the type of movement).  The written versions (from SW website/SignBank) show this difference, but additionally show the detail of curved fingers for CHAIR.  If one were choosing an example of a minimal pair set in ASL for an academic paper, would this present a problem? Can anyone recommend another minimal pair based on movement, handshape or location? (not palm orientation for the purposes of this paper)
