dry


DRY:    Change an index finger into an X handshape as your pull your hand from left to right in front of your mouth.  You don't actually touch the mouth.


Around my house, we use a very simple sign for "DRYER" (a device that dries clothing) -- we just do a double movement on the sign DRY.  Much of the meaning for this sign is conveyed by context.  "CLOTHES, PUT  DRY-DRY" is very obvious.


Another way to sign DRYER is to combine the sign for dry and "spin around."
