when signing "lose" as in losing a game, u have a "v" handshape go down to your palm. In the handshape's course, does it stop and turn a little or is the trail one straight line? The animation for "lose" makes it seem as if the handshape stops then goes very quickly.
Reply:
The movement is a straight line that moves down quickly without stopping
and smacks into the other hand rather strongly.
Think of someone falling to the ground--splat.
