American Sign Language:  "aloha"

Notes:  "Aloha" is used in Hawaii as a greeting or farewell.
Thus it is the equivalent of both hello and good-bye.
In ASL we just wave hello and good-bye.

 


ALOHA

 Note:  Here I'm starting the waving movement with an "A" handshape, but you could also just use an open "5" handshape.  I'm doing the movement rather big and formal on purpose to give the feeling of an official "hello" upon greeting or an official "good-bye" upon sending someone off to some other place.
