How to sign “Ending” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Ending” 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 flat and steady, fingers pressed together.
- Keep it in front of your torso at waist height.
- Walk your dominant fingertips along its back until they slip off the end.
- Point the dominant fingertips forward as they travel and drop off.
- Match your face to the outcome — sad for a bad ending, bright for a good one.
Practice tip
The hand literally runs off the end of the track — the picture is the meaning.
