How to sign “Incomes” in ASL

Everyday Life

The BSL sign for “Incomes” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.

Step by step

  1. Hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of you, fingers together, like a tray.
  2. Position it at chest height so the flat palm is a clear landing surface.
  3. Shape your dominant hand into a C above the far edge of that palm.
  4. Pull the C hand back toward yourself along the length of the flat palm.
  5. Close the C into a loose S fist while it travels, as if grabbing coins.
  6. Keep the base hand's palm facing up and your face neutral throughout.

Practice tip

Plural of “Income” — sign the base sign (often repeated) for more than one.

Fingerspell “Incomes”

Letter by letter — a handy backup if you forget the sign above. This is not the sign itself.
