RABBIT: The American Sign Language (ASL) sign for "rabbit"
The sign for "rabbit" shows two ears flopping.
Use "U" handshapes and bend at the large knuckles twice.
RABBIT:
Hmmm...I'm going to redo that graphic someday and do the palm orientation of each hand more towards the back (bunny ears flop toward the back a bit, not straight out to the sides).
Modified "H" hands version:
There is another sign for "rabbit" that I think of as meaning "bunny" (but both versions mean rabbit or bunny).
Hold "B"-hands (flat hands actually) or "U/H" hands on the upper sides of your head (as if they were bunny ears). The palms are facing backward. Fold your "ears" back twice.
BUNNY / RABBIT:
If the flat hands version was palms facing forward, this sign would mean "donkey." If facing forward and using a single movement it can mean "stubborn."
Sample sentence: FAMOUS RABBIT what-NAME?
