20:24:30 WeeHands HOW    One Y handshape twists back and forth against the other Y handshape to represent the concept of asking how to take something apart.
20:24:45 WeeHands that's from the ASL browser http://commtechlab.msu.edu/sites/aslweb/browser.htm
20:24:54 tricia_sign_instrr I've never heard" or seen of that one, Sara"
