The motion should look like you are "putting" something into the left hand. If you wish to indicate that you have done something several times, tap fingers on left palm more than once. Place the right "A" hand in front of the left "A" hand, with the knuckles of the left hand touching the right wrist. Then move the right hand to a position behind the left hand, right knuckles touching the left wrist. Hold a right "a" hand, palm up. Then allow the fingers to open, one by one, rotating the wrist to the right. Note: The sign is similar to the motion that is used when sowing a "few" seeds for planting. Hold left hand in "thumbs up" position. Then touch the left thumb with the index finger of a right "d" hand. Use the right hand, open palm fingers together, to indicate an imaginary wall or mirror directly in front of the face. Palm of the right hand should be turned inward toward the face. Make the movement from top to bottom. Use the index finger of a right "D" hand to gently strike the pinkie finger of a left "I" hand. Move cupped hands (fingers held together) from a position of about six inches between them to a proximity of only an inch or two between palms. Hold the left arm straight out from the body. Then move the right index finger along the left arm, starting at the wrist and ending at the shoulder. Hold both hands in a loose cup with fingertips close and pointing at each other. Some signers actually touch the fingertips of both hands together. Hold both hands palm upward in front of body. Use right hand to graze the palm of the left hand, touching the back of the right hand lightly in a right to left arcing motion. Allow the right hand to continue upward, stopping at upper chest level. Pantomime grasping an imaginary beard with the right "s" hand and pull it downward Using the right hand, touch the forehead with all four fingers. Then move the hand in a counterclockwise motion around the left side of the face, ending at the chin. Note: Some signers begin and end at the chin, making a full circle around the face. Make a left "s" hand with the palm turned downward. Then make a right "x" hand. Place the right "x" hand on the back of the left "s" hand about at the wrist. Then move the right hand across the back of the left hand from the wrist, out across the knuckles. Move the middle finger of a right "H" hand backward and then forward on the index finger of a left "H" hand. Place a right "D" hand on the left flat palm of the left hand (which is facing outward). Move right hand upward, brushing the left palm. Touch the pinkie finger of a right "I" hand (held upside down) to the index finger of a left "D" hand. Then move both fingers in opposition, as if drawing a thin line. Place the index finger of a right "D" hand just under the nose; then move it to the right of the face, curling the index finger until it makes a right "X" sign.
