Libras sign for "wake up"

[Charles Butler]

acordar, eu amou olhos abertos. (Wake up!, I love the wide-open eyes). In this case one doesn't need to show the "open" wedge hand.

I would switch the order since you are starting with the closed eyes and closed finger position, so it would look like this.


Personally, if I were writing this, I wouldn't with the initial position because the open hinge describes the movement clearly enough (for me anyways). So this is how I would write WAKE UP if I were writing it myself.

    thought the ASL one[1] would probably be similar, and it was, kind
    of.  But the order of the signs puzzles me.  Is it well written?
