A few tips and reminders for those of you who may be testing on this material:
RECENTLY: Uses an "X" handshape, pointing backwards. The handshape extends and flexes the index finger a couple times.
Milk: uses only one hand. Opens and closes. Doesn't move up and down.
Numbers 1 - 9 do not twist.
MAKE: Uses "S" handshapes
DEAF: Uses an index finger not a "D" handshape. If you use a "D" handshape it means "Dorm."
SEE-her: can be done with one hand, palm back, moving toward the right.
WHICH uses "A" handshapes.
HAIR: Uses an "open F" handshape that closes into an "F" handshape.
BATHEROOM: Uses a "T" handshape that twists or shakes. Note this sign doesn't need a separate sign for "room." It is understood without a separate sign.
HIM/HER: uses only one hand
SEPARATED: Uses "loose C" hands or "Curved hands" that change to "A" hands. If you use a "D" handshape it means "Divorce."
TELL: Uses an index finger that starts palm back with the pad touching the chin and then the hand is moved so that the tip of the index finger moves forward and down in an arc.
TELL-me: starts with and Index finger held about four inches in front of the chin and then moves in and grazes the chin with the tip of the index finger. The tip of the finger continues moving until it makes contact with the chest.
FEEL: is done in the middle or a bit to the dominant side of the chest, (not on the belly).
When signing the numbers 16 - 19 some people use the "ten+six, ten+seven, ten+eight, and ten+nine" versions. This is okay. It is simply one more variation. But note that the initial "10" loses its internal movement and becomes simply an "A" handshape, pinkie-side down and then uses a single twist as it changes to a 6, 7, 8, or 9.
ALWAYS: This sign sometimes is done by drawing a circle in the air and then moving the hand forward in a "Y" handshape. The "Y" handshape is not necessary. It isn't wrong, but it isn't "needed" either. You can do the sign for always by just circling and index finger (pointing up) in the air.
HAVE: Uses "bent-b" handshapes that touch the chest.
EQUAL, the palms are each facing in, not down. The tips of the fingers come together.
HARD: uses a single striking motion onto the back or side of the non-dominant "S" or "bent V" hand.
