⏰ ASL Sign of the Day: LATER

⏰ ASL Sign of the Day: LATER

Today's sign: LATER — the "L" hand clock pivots forward, ticking into the future. 🤟

Non-dominant flat palm faces up as the base. Dominant L-hand (thumb up, index forward) rests upright on its heel — then pivots in a smooth arc until the index points straight down.

One fluid motion. One clear meaning.

July Time Expressions, Episode 2.
