Are these two Y hands that are interlocked at the baby finger?

In other words, like this handshape, but the baby fingers hook each  
other?

Baby & Thumb

combined with:

Baby Bent
http://www.signwriting.org/lessons/iswa/group06/01-06-012-01.html

If so, then use the Baby Bent symbol and then add a tiny little line  
from the Limb Lines in SignPuddle, to create the thumb line. It  
appears you have already found those little lines...

There is no choice but to build some handshapes because the ISWA 2008  
(International SignWriting Alphabet) which is installed into  
SignPuddle Online already has 250 handshapes, and most signed  
languages only use around 100 of those, but each signed language uses  
different ones, so it was hard for us to put in every small nuance and  
difference but you can build the ones you do not have...

Thanks for informing us that is a handshape you need for Argentine  
Sign Language -

Val ;-)
