shape of sign?

edit

The sign is described as "made by extending the thumb and index fingers pointing up, leaving the other fingers closed to create the letter L". If the thumb and index finger are both pointing up, they are parallel and possibly touching; that doesn't resemble the letter L, whose base is horizontal, at right angles to the upright. See the sign for the letter L in the American manual alphabet:

 

This is about as close as possible to a capital L as the hand can make, and the thumb is certainly not pointing up.

The sign is indeed the same as the ASL sign for 'L'. See this photo for an example: https://www.flickr.com/photos/keenesquivias1998/3799798710 seav (talk) 16:53, 10 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
