Nisaba - Hmm. How to describe "new". There are good sign language dictionaries online but I don't see one that doesn't require you to drill down through alphabet, etc., so see if this makes sense: Start with both hands palms up in a natural position about chest high. Run the back of one hand across the palm of another, in the direction of moving toward your wrist (not away). The online video dictionaries show the sign being done with a little more "flair" or an arc than I do when I use it on my cards. For that, I make it a little more gentle or "personal" movement.
No, I'm not deaf. I taught myself the alphabet in high school out of curiosity (got half of it wrong, though), and then in college, met a deaf man in one of my classes who turned out to be the Vicar at a church for the deaf where they taught sign language classes. That was about the same time I was giving up Tarot (see my previous post), so several decades ago. I seemed to have a knack for it, picked it up quickly, and was teaching in about three years. I haven't been a "working interpreter" in many many years which is just as well since the language has evolved and I haven't kept up.
It is a beautiful language, in many ways so much more expressive than spoken English. I was lucky enough to be one of several interpreters in a run of "The Wizard of Oz" at a local theater a long time ago, and I got to sign Dorothy. That was when I found out signing the song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" was so pretty I got (get) choked up every time. Signing songs is still a favorite thing.
That same Vicar is now a retired Minister. We lost contact for a long time and then, thanks to the internet, we reconnected. He and his family are truly wonderful people.
I've only seen a few signs in Australian Sign Language, would love to see more of it!
By the way, I've looked for a sign for Tarot but haven't found one. Fingerspelling T-A-R-O-T works just fine if ever needed, but I can't help but wonder if there's a sign for it. Somewhere out there, there must be a deaf person who reads Tarot, don't you think? If I ever meet one, I'll ask about that!
