PEACOCK sign

[Stefan Wöhrmann]

Hi SW-list, 

 

before I mentioned... 

 

“.... I do not know why he signs the “bird” with his right hand and the
“tail” with the left – just using the right hand as a platform for the
elbow. Probably other signers would perform both parts of this combined
sign with the same hand? “

 

A minute ago I followed the link of 

 

http://www.dailyasl.com/ASLdictionary2.htm

 

 

and found another performance of “PEACOCK” 

 

and ha – this is fun. She is performing the sign the way I had in mind. In
addition to that – as you can see:The bird opens its beak only once. –Just
as expected in combined signs. 

 

In this performance the right hand describes a curved movement but quite
much down forward as well ... 

 

 

Stefan ;-)
