[Sw-l] Question about BaseSymbols #75 and #259

[Adam Frost]

BaseSymbol 259 is similar to an “S” handshape (or a fist) except the knuckles are all raise. So I guess I could see why it would look close to an “E” in ASL.

The main difference is the thumb. In BaseSymbol 75, the fingers are on top of the crossed over thumb. In BaseSymbol 259, the thumb crosses over the fingers.
