State

To sign state, hold up your non-dominant hand flat, with the palm facing the dominant side of your body. Then take your dominant hand and form it into the ASL letter S sign, and starting from the top, touch your 'S' fist to your fingertips, then move it away and down a bit and touch it to the base of your palm.
