Skilled ASL signers often do an abbreviated version of this sign. In
the abbreviated version, the right hand doesn't actually circle the left
hand. It simply makes a very small circle above the left hand then comes
to rest on top of the left hand.
LAST YEAR, (the recent year)
Sideways view of "recent year"
LAST-YEAR:
(or "one year ago")
2 YEARS-AGO:
NEXT-YEAR:
"two years from now" "in two years"
ANNUALLY:
For this version, the left hand stays mostly stationary and the right hand
comes down and whacks it. The right hand changes from a fist to an index
as it moves down to strike the left fist.
