The sign for "article"
also means:
• COLUMN ( As in a newspaper column)
• CHAPTER (To sign "chapter" use a “C” handshape)--left hand horizontal
as would be used for "BOOK"
• SECTION (As in a section in the newspaper)
Use the thumb and index finger to show the width of an article. Move the
dominant
hand down the palm of the base hand. I sign this with the left
fingertips pointing upward. Another way to sign it is with the left
fingertips pointing forward. (Which means your non-dominant
hand can be either horizontal or vertical. Do it whatever way is done by
your local Deaf or your ASL instructor.)
