be specific on how I should sign this

When signing about the giraffe's neck and height, you can use the following specific instructions:

  1. Neck (CL: 1):

    • Start your sign by using your dominant hand in a "1" handshape (extended index finger).
    • Place your hand near the top of your head to indicate the length of the giraffe’s neck.
    • Move your hand upward in a slow, sweeping motion to emphasize the elongation of the neck.

  2. Height (CL: 2):

    • Use both hands in the "2" handshape (index and middle finger extended).
    • Hold your hands next to each other at shoulder height to signify a typical animal's height.
    • Then, lift both hands upwards to demonstrate how a giraffe towers above other animals, exaggerating the motion to convey the great height.

Combine these gestures smoothly for an effective representation of the giraffe's unique neck and height!
