Word List Author Note: As a rule, the twenties are performed with the "L-handshape" for the 2 (rather than a "V-handshape." The sign TWENTY is a quick combination of "two" (modified to L) and "zero" (modified). This is similar to the sign NO is a combination of N and 0 (modified). BTW, the only number in the twenties that does not use the "L" for the two is the number 22.
