Description of ASL sign for "now": The upturned right-angle hands drop down rather sharply. The 'Y' hands may also be used.

Description of ASL sign for "stop": Bring the little-finger side of the right flat hand down sharply at right angles on the left palm.

Description of ASL sign for "enough": The left hand in the 'S' position, is held palm facing right. The right '5' hand, palm down, is brushed outward several times over the top of the left, indicating a wiping off the top of a cup.

Description of ASL sign for "thank you": Touch the lips with the fingertips of one or both flat hands, then move the hands forward until the palms are facing up.

Who writes comments? Apparently no one! So welcome to Arilynn's Incomplete and Sloppy Guide to the manual alphabet and ASL. Please keep in mind that the IASG is limited to descriptions of hand positions and motions that I either can steal off of another site or put together in a fairly incomprehensible manner on my own AND manage to copy/type into this message boards.

For all zero of you who read this, enjoy! or not!

P.S. For those playing close attention (don't bother hiding! I know you are not out there!), the ASL descriptions tell a lovely story.
