FSL "June" spelling???

[Charles Butler]

It looks as if you are holding the index finger out, and the J hand face down and to the side.  I can understand it from your explanation but it looks very awkward.  Old ASL had a similar sign with the left index finger pointed to the right and the J hand flopping over it, like turning the pages to a calendar forward and back, not to the side.  Is this what you intended, or does the action go left to right.

Hi Nana,

I think I can read your sign for June.
I tried to read it and than read your explanation and I get the same. 
Just the startin position of right hand in second part of sign seems to 
me a little bit confusing.
keep on. :-)
