I love these videos Carlos! I turn off all sound and just watch. No voice needed. Your sign language is very clear, even for people who do not know LIBRAS.

Thank you so much for teaching almost every day on video ;-)

One of them is the number 22, the way that Adam wrote it has been a standard in our books for page numbers and room numbers and so many things for 20 or 30 years. So I have entered both versions in SignPuddle online right now for 2022 because I need it for my email to Stefan ;-)

>>>> I would assume you meant “class”; however, the rotation of the hands have some issues. The first is that the thicker part of the “C” 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.

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 “dog”, 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 could try reading them like I did above, but they don’t 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 aren’t placed in the normal convention. 7, 8, and 9 look like they are various forms of “eating”, 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.
