How to spell SORA in sign language

Sora fingerspelled in ASL is 4 handshapes, signed one after another with the palm facing out. Hold each for a beat and keep the hand in one place; the letters carry the word, not the movement.

Letter by letter

S A closed fist with the thumb wrapped across the front of all curled fingers.
O All fingertips curved forward to touch the tip of the thumb, forming a closed O circle.
R Index and middle fingers extended upward and crossed (middle finger over index); thumb holds the ring and pinky down.
A A closed fist with the thumb resting upright against the side of the index finger.

Fingerspelling is how ASL handles names, places, brands and words without a sign of their own. Many everyday words do have a sign, so if you are learning ASL as a language, learn that sign too; this page shows how the word is spelled with the manual alphabet.
