If you use two hands to make a large circle using modified C handshapes
consisting of the thumb and index finger of each hand:
Circles / flat round objects / dishes / round portals / holes / large spots /
round stains / hub caps / large round rings or hoops such as the top hoop of a
lamp shade / a clock on the wall / a large relatively flat round pan such as a
pizza baking sheet / a large magnifying glass / etc.

Notes: For an explanation of "classifiers" in general, see: CLASSIFIERS
Also see: "CLASSIFIER: C"
Note: Quite often "Classifier: C" will be used with the mouth morpheme "CHA"
(which means that you might see people's mouths move as if they were saying
"Cha!" while doing the sign.
