HAMBURGER

[Adam Frost]

Ok, I'll use what we have been talking about. If you look at the  
symbol that we have been talking about, , and find it on the rotation  
list, you will notice that the handshape is in the top half which  
people commonly think is the right hand only. But we just used it for  
the left hand. :-)
