Here are the two signs for COOK in ASL...Each are a little different.
Number 1 is used the most. it is the basic sign. I like the simple
spelling. Number 2 is showing energetic cooking.... And the movement is
different. It is going back and forth, like sweeping etc...So both
spellings are right for their respective signs...So Honza..in the Czech
signs, you also seem to have both...and both should be in your
dictionary, I think...
