Help wanted in transcribing a phrase

[Charles Butler]

Hello Gabriel,

I went to the Dublin University Sign Language site and noted what seemed to be the fingerspelling for S-I-G-N in ISL.

Differences from ASL

G is a squared ASL "9".  I show it on a square as the fingertips don't touch, the thumb is behind.

N is a tight fist with two fingers.  I show it from the Group 10 hands.

Here is my transcription of it.


  Sign
S-I-G-N in Irish Sign Language. 
  Note that the "N" is not the ASL "N" but a a tight fist.
