Review: EQUAL-[fair, level] Indexing on the Non-Dominant Hand: You can use your non-dominant hand (that's the left-hand for six out of seven people) as a way to talk about your family or friends. For example, as you introduce each of your brothers and sisters you can "index" them on the non-dominant hand by pointing to different fingers for each sibling. Start with the oldest first and work your way down. Classifier: 4 (CL4) This sign is used to represent multiples of items that are arranged in a certain way. CL4 can be used for things like: hair (styles), curtains, a line of people, lines on a shirt or a piece of paper, etc. Visit the Classifier 4 page for examples. Note: “worse vs times” “Worse/worst” is a single movement “Times” is a single movement The only difference is the facial expression and the rest of the sentence. Notes: “more than” To express the concept of “more than” can either sign a combination of the two separate signs “MORE” and “THAN” or you can use the single sign “MORE_THAN.” For a practice quiz, visit: Lesson 23 Practice Quiz Check with your instructor or your syllabus regarding any graded quizzes for this lesson. \|1\|2\|3\|4\|5\|6\|7\|8\|9\|10\|11\|12\|13\|14\|15\|16\|17\|18\|19\|20\|21\|22\|23\|24\|25\|26\|27\|28\|29\|30\| ◄ ►

Review: EQUAL-[fair, level]

Indexing on the Non-Dominant Hand:
You can use your non-dominant hand (that's the left-hand for six out of seven people) as a way to talk about your family or friends. For example, as you introduce each of your brothers and sisters you can "index" them on the non-dominant hand by pointing to different fingers for each sibling. Start with the oldest first and work your way down.
