unknown sign - flat hands palm up to shoulder/chest help
hello, i've received a secondhand account of an asl sign but can't figure it out despite researching on handspeak and search engine.
i have basically no knowledge of asl so i do apologize if something doesn't make sense as there's not a video of it either.
the sign starts with both hands flat and palm up resting horizontally & the pinkyfinger sides touching the stomach. the hands are not splayed out nor is a thumb tucked in, just kinda like a hand on a "halt" stop sign.
both hands simultaneously rise up until at chest/shoulder level, then both hands (fingers don't move position) splay slightly outward.
EDIT: clarification bc i realized it might be relevant - it was being signed repeatedly someone coming towards the person, but it wasn't in a threatening manner, more of a high energy somewhat manic.
