Cape Town 01 · Variation in SASL Place Names · University of the Free State

Title: Cape Town 01
Description: Cape Town 01 is an initialised-descriptive sign that incorporates the T handshape for both hands in a movement that mimics the shape of Table Mountain, a landmark of Cape Town. Over time, this shortened version of the sign evolved to only flick the wrists up and down, with the hands in the T handshape. This variant is a lexical variation from both Cape Town 07 and Cape Town 12.
