chew
Oh, oh...I am also using your
website words for my high school class. Once a week I pass out 10 of your sign
descriptions (your test) so the students and the staff can try to determine the sign. It's a good reading
exercise for the students and good practice for the interpreters. Interesting,
that while the "deafer" students know the signs better, the "hearer" students get more correct. It's a reading
thing. "Butt of the left hand" on number 9 got some. They thought the sign must be "dog" because you slapped your
butt when you sign "dog". [Editor's note: I do NOT slap my butt when signing "DOG." I snap my fingers
and/or slap my thigh. heh]So, we learned what the butt of the hand is. Also...number 6...most of us put "chew"
instead of "wash". Is there a difference?
