Writing Number 16 in ASL

[Charles Butler]

Black/White 10 would work fine for me.

Thanks Stuart and Ingvild for your input -
Since Stuart is signing the signs with the 10-hand palm facing that  
is used in the number 10, then maybe that is the palm facing that  
should be used for those signs...it is good to know this, Stuart,  
thanks for thinking about this some more...I just added the possible  
page number spelling to the ASL puddle online for us to choose if we  
want...it is the third one in the attached diagram...

I appreciate this discussion everyone!  Val ;-)
