Finger touch

May 31, 2008

Hello Stefan and Everyone!
Steve just told me that I have a little more time to add this one  
symbol to the ISWA before the ISWA is installed in the new SignPuddle  
2.0 this June...so I will be adding that handshape now...so numbers 6,  
7, 8 and 9 in ASL can touch three times if they wish...without having  
to construct any handshapes...

Val ;-)
