Hi Val,

The base hand should technically be a D Hand, but the way Darline actually 
signs it on the video, the base hand has the ring and pinky fingers tucked 
right in, and the thumb touching the middle finger - the handshape I chose 
in my original writing.  I think Philip's square fist base is the clearest 
for writing, but I actually don't know anyone who signs it that way... the 
way Darline signed it is the way I usually see, and when someone is signing 
carefully (as in when they're teaching a class or something), I generally 
see the full D hand.
