Optionally, the same manual signs used in factual conditional clauses may be employed in counterfactual conditional clauses (SYNTAX 3.5.1.2.2). When this happens, the obligatory non-manuals marking the antecedent clause are also produced. When the manual marker is absent, the obligatory non-manual markers alone are able to mark the sentence as a conditional clause.
