Sign for Hey

[Stuart Thiessen]

This is a sign that is used as part of discourse. Most often, it is 
used as a "attention getter" ... probably something similar to the 
English expression "Now, listen," or "Let me tell you ..."

I have put two versions in SignPuddle.  The second one came as a result 
of feedback from one deaf person here.

A text description looks like this:  The arm itself extends forward 
(with the flat palm probably facing forward originally)  and then the 
flat palm palm-down (about shoulder level) moves up and down from the 
wrist with an expectant look on the face seeking their attention. (This 
is probably a very familiar gesture anyway).

The second spelling is probably closer. Do I need the shoulder line or 
add the details of the elbow extending? What do you think?

Thanks,

Stuart
