[sw-l] New Handshapes for the IMWA

[Charles Butler]

Valerie, et al,

I'm curious in this new shape, what happened to the little finger?  In all other IMWA shapes, if all the fingers are visible and form a part of the shape, they are indicated by lines.  The little finger is not folded into the hand in the photograph.  Where did it go?
