Gesture Coding Reference Page

How to Use this Page
====================

With six columns to keep track of at once, there is a lot to keep in mind while coding gesture. Use this guide to find all forms currently in use, as well as what body parts might be used to make each gesture and which glosses may be used for each conventional gesture. Note that some conventionals have forms in brackets; these brackets are a part of the form and should not be left out. Also, some forms do not require every column to have an entry. This is notated by "(blank)" in the chart below.
