🏥 H-hand draws the cross — that's HOSPITAL in ASL.
Index and middle fingers extended together (H-hand), rest of the hand closed. Place the H-hand at your upper arm, palm facing in.
Trace a small + cross: → first a horizontal stroke side to side ↓ then a vertical stroke down
The motion literally draws the hospital cross symbol on your arm. Hard to forget once you've done it.
June theme: Emergency Phrases · Sign 6 of the series Building a vocabulary that matters when it counts.
Think of drawing the hospital âž• symbol on your arm!
