You can also use the "g" handshape as a classifier to show that something is "thin."For example, you could use the following sign to show the thinness of a picture frame, a book, a piece of wood, etc. If you used this sign to talk about a person then it wouldn't be just the sign "thin" and not a "classifier" showing "how thin."

CL:G "very short hair"When discussing "hair" and you want to indicate that a person had a crew cut or a "buzz cut" you can use a "G" handshape to show that the length of the hair is "very short." This sign shows the height of the hair of a person who just had a buzz cut. For more "hair signs" see HAIR.
