lunch

There are two versions of this sign, a compound version (EAT + NOON), and an initialized version, ("L" handshape using the movement and position of "EAT.")

LUNCH (compound version)


LUNCH  (initialized version)
There are two versions of the initialized version.  You can either use a slight rotational movement, like slurping soup from a bowl held near your mouth. Or you can use forward and back motion, (like putting food in your mouth).  In the "forward and back version" the thumb can touch the lips, (but it doesn't have to).
