How to sign “Result” in ASL

Everyday Life

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

Step by step

  1. Shape your non-dominant hand into a flat B hand with the fingers together and extended.
  2. Hold the B hand steady in front of your chest with the palm facing sideways.
  3. Cross the index and middle fingers of your dominant hand into an R handshape.
  4. Slide the R hand forward along the top edge of the stationary B hand.
  5. Let the R hand drop off the end of the B hand and fall downward to finish.

Practice tip

An initialized form of the sign END — the R hand does the same END slide; Lifeprint notes initialized signs are otherwise best avoided in ASL.
