How to sign “Enters” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Enters” 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 flat hand out in front of your chest with the palm facing down.
- Start your dominant flat hand above and slightly behind the base hand, palm also facing down.
- Swoop the dominant hand downward and slide it underneath the base hand from the thumb side.
- Arc the hand upward and out through the pinky side, like a small animal slipping into a burrow.
- Keep the base hand still and slightly curved so the tunnel underneath it stays clear.
- Move with a smooth, single path; repeat the swoop a second, smaller time to mean inside.
Practice tip
