ABBREVIATE:
The hands move in from the sides (not the front).
Sample sentence:
YOU HAVE ABBREVIATE NAME?
Do you have a nickname?
Notes:
This is not the same sign as "get." The sign GET starts away from the body and moves closer to the body. The sign ABBREVIATE starts with the hands a bit to the side and they move in toward the center as they change into "S" hands.
