ASL 25

[Stuart Thiessen]

I was looking in the dictionary for the ASL 25. I noticed that it was 
written differently than how I typically sign it. When I went to write 
my version, I couldn't find the handshape I was looking for.

It is basically the L handshape in ASL but instead of the fist, the 
middle, ring, and pinky project forward from the base knuckles as a 
unit. Another way to describe it is a hinge hand with the index finger 
pointed up. I was looking under the "9" category. Is that the right 
place to be looking for this handshape?

I was thinking it would look something like this ... Is that correct?

If this is right, then I would write 25 like this probably. I am not 
sure on the hand orientation though ... if it should be facing forward 
or to the side.
