new hand configuration

[Charles Butler]

Would it be better to put it in Group 8 because of the middle finger and make it a Middle finger bent down, that way it's not confused. 

Perhaps a variant on base 195 (middle finger thumb hook).

My question is it much different than this handshape? Because this is what I first thought of when I saw the photos.


If it is a huge difference just by where the thumb is, but not much different, how would it look if we just moved the thumb out of this symbol? Would that be confusing with other symbols?
