Signbank

1. This is a very general sign that uses a horizontal flat handshape (with the palm facing downwards) to represent either a flat surface, or a vehicle (like a car or a truck). You can place it anywhere in the signing space, which you use like a mini-stage to describe a situation. The video shows you just one example because you can turn to face the fingertips in any direction which is comfortable in order to show where the surface or vehicle is located relative to other things (the fingertips are assumed to be at the front of the vehicle and the palm the underside of the vehicle).
