Does anyone know the sign for weasel?
Edit: Like the animal?
Dr. Bill replies:
Hello Ian,
I've lived in a lot of regions and have played a game that is called the "animal
circle" game with hundreds of different signers (many of whom are native Deaf --
(Deaf born of Deaf parents)) -- I've never seen "weasel" signed by anyone. Nor
is it in any ASL Dictionaries (I own 28). Nor does my wife know a sign for
it. Thus if you are going to find a sign for it you need to contact some sort
of National Association of Weasel owners (online group perhaps) and then ask if
there are any Deaf weasel owners in the group and then ask THAT person how
he/she signs weasel. The other option would be to start looking for the sign in
the signed languages of other countries and then "borrow" the sign from some
other signed language (if you find the sign).

Cordially,
Dr. Bill
