Deaf people are used to turning fingerspelling around to their perspective mentally. When people are in the act of counting things, they point up slightly with the handshape of the number that is being assigned to that object and then point directly at the object being counted, with PO towards the non-dominant side. Eye contact must be made with the thing counted. If signers are counting things they are visualizing in their head because the things are not present, they will either close their eyes or look upward. Ordinal numbers Temporal Ordinal numbers get their name from the fact that they establish the order of things.
Sixth grade is after fifth and before seventh.
If the order is one of importance, and not of time, there are two possibilities. For sports, the FO is towards the non-dominant side, held high and pulled quickly toward the dominant side. Alternately the FO may be away from the signer and the hand moved away from the signer. In rapid discourse the FO is away from the signer and brought towards the signer in ballistic movements. Listing If the interpreter can sense that a list is being generated, then the list should be counted on the fingers.
