HAM:
Just fingerspell the letters H-A-M.
Also see: PIG
Notes:
A student writes: "I was just surprised to learn that "ham" didn't
have its own unique sign. We have "bacon" or many other much less commonly used
words that have a sign.:
Dr. Bill responds:
The letters of the word "ham" are so easy to fingerspell that it would be
counterproductive to have a separate sign for "ham." We Deaf tend to
fingerspell at around two-tenths of a second per letter or faster. Thus (for a
skilled signer) "H-A-M" is only going to take around six-tenths of a second to
fingerspell (after you've moved your hand to the initial starting position).
