The right sign depends on your meaning.
Did you lose your keys or did you lose the game? Each uses a different
sign.
LOSE or "lost" as in "I lost my keys."
Make the sign for "more" and then turn both hands palms down
while relaxing your fingers. Pretend you were holding something between
your hands and it slipped. This sign is used when you mean the opposite
of found.
LOSE as in "fail a competition, or "We LOST at the track meet."
when signing "lose" as in losing a game, u have a "v" handshape go down to your palm. In the handshape's course, does it stop and turn a little or is the trail one straight line? The animation for "lose" makes it seem as if the handshape stops then goes very quickly.
