CULTURE/LANGUAGE

What is Number Incorporation?

                  Incorporating numbers into signs, EXAMPLE: 4 years, 2 hours, 6 months, 4 days, 2 weeks, 4 minutes, 2 o’clock

Numerical incorporation works well for most situations up to the number "9" (nine). Beyond that you should probably do the number separately. Some people say that "age" can incorporate numbers higher than "9."  I'm not going to argue with that because obviously there is a blending of hand shapes going on with "ages." http://www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-layout/numericalincorporation.htm
