Query on Handshape

[Stefan Wöhrmann]

Hi Charles, hello Eyasu ...

 

just curious. Do you know that Eyasu Tamene from the University of Addis
Ababa/Ethiopia  worked so hard to create the EMA

Perhaps the hand shape you are looking for is part of the table? 

 

Stefan ;-)

Betreff: Query on Handshape

 

In going through Ethiopian sign language, I found another handshape, this
time a variant on the thumb (ASL T) with the index finger on the middle
finger on top of the T.

 

I cannot find it in ISWA 10, and it is an essential part of the language.
Again, manipulation by computer will be difficult.

 



 

Here you go. 

 

Charles
