The sign for "why" is
made by touching (or coming near) your forehead with the fingers of your
dominant hand then while bringing your hand forward and down , change it to the letter "y," keeping
your palm facing you.
WHY (variation)
Here is another version of the sign, "WHY." Notice the ending
handshape? The index finger isn't bent. The middle finger and
sometimes both the middle finger and the ring finger "wiggle" a couple times.
