How to sign “Saves” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Saves” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Shape your dominant hand into a V, extending your index and middle fingers while folding the others down.
- Make a firm fist with your non-dominant hand and hold it up in front of your chest.
- Bring your V-hand fingers down so they slap firmly against the back of your non-dominant fist.
- Use one firm slap for the verb meaning store up; slap twice when you mean the noun storage.
- Keep your palm angled sideways through the motion and your expression calm and neutral.
