ISL sign
How to sign
Open palm waved gently side to side near the temple.
Both palms join together in front of the chest with a slight head bow.
Flat hand starts at the chin and moves outward toward the person.
Flat hand on the chest, moved in a small circle.
Closed fist rubbed in a circle over the chest.
Closed fist nodding up and down like a head-nod.
Index and middle finger tap the thumb twice quickly.
Both open hands extend forward, palms up, inviting toward you.
Open hand waves slowly with fingers curling and uncurling.
Sign 'good' then sweep the flat hand up from the elbow like a rising sun.
Sign 'good' then arc the hand down over the opposite forearm like a setting sun.
Brush the fingertips of one hand across the open palm of the other twice.
