Hello AnnaGrace,

I would assume you meant ³class²; however, the rotation of the hands have
some issues. The first is that the thicker part of the ³C² is the finger
side, so you have a couple of hands upside-down. The other issue is with the
white palm facing. I know there are two different approaches for writing
this facing with angle/hinge/bent/curve hands. One is that every sign has a
center, and as such, these fingers should be directed to the center. The
other is that the thumb should be one the side as it is in real life, which
is what it looks like you are following here. I personally follow the first
approach.

I think you mean ³chair², but I am not sure why the base hand also has bent
fingers. They are never bent when I sign this. In fact, I am starting to not
write the other fingers as bent as well, personally, because I notice I
rarely actually bend the fingers. Same with several of my friends as well.

I think you mean ³sit². The same issue with chair applies here as well. I
noticed you used touch for chair instead of grasp like you did for sit. Not
that it¹s wrong, but I thought it was interesting.

I think you mean ³dog², but the movement arrows actually mean the arm
travels. There are other arrows that means the fingers move that are needed
here. The almost look like general movement arrows, but smaller. I also
question if it is actually a back and forth rub movement, or if it is a
back-back brush movement.

I have no clue what this sign is. I would read it as a fist that is facing
away coming diagonally up-right to the chin to touch and then moves back
towards the throat, all with a kiss shaped mouth. Were you trying to write
³kiss fist²?

The rest I actually have no idea what they mean. I could try reading them
like I did above, but they don¹t feel like good guesses to me. 6 has a
handshape that looks constructed and I am not sure what is meant by it
because the fingers aren¹t placed in the normal convention. 7, 8, and 9 look
like they are various forms of ³eating², but the handshape is only with the
index and thumb rather than all of them so it leads me to think they have to
do with a bird pecking at the face.
