4.1.1.2. Simultaneous manual articulation

In TÄ°D, a definite article can be articulated with the dominant hand while the head noun of the noun phrase is articulated with the nondominant hand. Below, a classifier handshape functions as the head noun, a stuffed_potato. This head noun is simultaneously articulated with the definite pointing sign. (h1) stands for the right hand, which is the dominant hand here and (h2) stands for the left hand, which is the nondominant hand here.
