How to sign “Beginnings” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Beginnings” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Hold your non-dominant hand out flat with the fingers together, except for the middle and index fingers.
- Position your dominant hand so its index finger points at the base of the other hand's middle and index fingers.
- Touch the tip of the dominant index finger to the spot where those two fingers meet.
- Twist the dominant hand with a small turning motion, as if turning a key.
- Keep the twisting finger's palm facing sideways and your expression alert and ready.
