AW: Manchester

[Alison Vere]

Hi Stefan,
The non-dominant hand in M is parallel to the floor and the C hand in the
sign MANCHESTER is a full hand.
I think that would be the M from 'Variation A' and the C from 'Variation C'
??
Although as you can see the examples you have found online, the hanshape of
the dominanthand (left hand) varies.
The citation form would look like I have described above but this changes
when found in a phrase.
Thanks,
Alison
