interest



INTEREST (interested / interesting)
Both hands are in "5" shapes on or near your torso.  The dominant hand is above the weak hand. Both hands move forward and change into "8" handshapes.

Note:  The sign "interesting" is NOT used for the kind of interest that accrues on borrowed money.  That is signed by placing the pinkie side of the right "I" handshape on the palm of your palm-up left flat-hand.  Then move the right "I" handshape in two counterclockwise circles on the left palm. The pinkie-side of the the right hand is rubbing against the palm of the left hand as you make the two small counterclockwise circles.
