How do you say "Pride" in American Sign Language?

Request for Question Clarification by jem-ga on 12 Aug 2003 09:13 PDT
Hi there macie-ga :)

I've located a website that shows the American Sign Language finger
spelling of the word "pride".  Is this what you're looking for or are
you looking for a sign representation? (e.g the American Sign Language
sign representation for pants is shown by drawing the open hands up
along the thighs, starting at the knees.)

Hi macie-ga :)

Further to my clarification request above, I've subsequently come
across some further information which I believe will allow me to
answer your question in full.

My initial search took me to this site:

American Sign Language Browser (you need to have Quick Time
installed):

http://commtechlab.msu.edu/sites/aslweb/browser.htm

Quick Time free download:

http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/

where you can view a video clip of each sign listed in their
directory.  I initially searched for "pride" and didn't find it listed
HOWEVER, with thanks to researcher Pinkfreud-ga, I am told that the
American Sign for "proud" is the same sign for "pride".

Pinkfreud-ga: <<ASL often uses the same sign for multiple words, and
for different forms of a single word. My friend....who signs...tells
me that the sign for "proud" is the same sign used for "pride.">>

I have also, thanks to Pinkfreud's prompting, confirmed that you can
view a video clip of the signing for "proud" at the site indicated
above.

Of further interest, you might like to view the American Sign Language
