Hello Hasna!
Thank you for this message.

There are several ways to sign and write the sign for BREATH in  
American Sign Language, depending on the sentence and the emphasis, so  
please do the following....

1. find the exact sign in the document you have a question about
2. take a screen capture of that exact sign or the whole sentence the  
sign is located in...
3. the screen capture will be a graphic such as .png or .gif or .jpg
4. write to the SW List and attach the graphic to the message....ask  
your questions related to the attached graphic

Then, when I see the sign, I can answer your question specifically...

I look forward to reading your next message on the List with a picture  
of the sign in question -

Val ;-)
