BEAUTIFUL: This sign exists in several
signed languages, including American Sign Language and Brazilian
Sign Language. The American sign finishes in a Straight-Angle
Handshape, and the Brazilian sign finishes in a Fist. When the
sign finishes in a Fist, the Middle-Joint Sequential Movement
Symbol is used (with the dots). This shows that the fingers bend
into the finishing fisted position. When the sign finishes in
a Straight-Angle, there is no bending of the middle joints of
the fingers. The Sequential Movement Symbol is from the knuckle
joint, finishing straight and together. |
