Hand

To sign hand, simply hold up both flat hands with fingers stuck together and palms facing in. Then use your dominant hand's fingertips to motion up a few inches away from the back of your non-dominant hand, from wrist level to just past your fingertips. You are simply indicating your hand to the person you are speaking to.
