Writing Number 16 in ASL

[Stuart Thiessen]

Well, it is the 10 hand ... in concept ...  but when I actually  
produce the sign, the thumb of the 10 hand actually rests on the hand  
instead of being fully extended. In other words, the formal way to  
teach is 10+6, but in actual production (at least for me), the thumb  
of the 10 hand is not fully extended.  Does that make sense?
