American Sign Language: "not"
To sign "not," form your hand into an "A" hand with the thumb extending a bit more than normal. Place the thumb under your chin. Quickly move your hand forward a few inches.
NOT / "un-"
Notes:
Generally you use a negative headshake with this sign. For the sake of emphasis, you may see this sign done with a very strong forceful movement and little or no head-shake. If you do this sign with two hands it can mean "deny."
