how to sign the word fourth

To sign the word “fourth,” start with your dominant hand in a closed fist with the thumb extended. Touch the index finger to the thumb and hold it up against your non-dominant hand, which should be held flat with the palm facing up. Then, twist your dominant hand slightly while keeping the fingers together, as if turning a key. This represents the “F” handshape in American Sign Language. Next, bring your dominant hand down slightly and touch the index finger to the non-dominant hand again, this time twisting it twice to make the “O” handshape. Finally, move your dominant hand down and to the right while making a circular motion with your wrist, representing the “R” handshape. This completes the sign for “fourth.”
