American Sign Language: "put"


The sign for "put" has a lot of variations depending on what you mean. 

The general sign for put uses what I call "flattened AND" hands.  Or "flattened O" hands.  The pad of your thumb is pressed up against the underside of the fingers as if you were holding onto a piece of cardboard and "putting" it somewhere.
