How do you sign the letter N in BSL?
Passive hand open, palm up. Lay two fingers of your dominant hand — index and middle — flat across the passive palm. No movement. N is the 14th letter of the two-handed BSL alphabet.
Two fingers on the palm, like the two legs of a printed n. N doubles in Anna: spell A, N, N, A to practise moving from a fingertip to the palm.
You will fingerspell N in names like Noah, Nancy and Nathan and places like Newcastle, Norwich and Nottingham. Practise it next to M and O, its neighbours in the alphabet.
