         โ€˜Lawโ€™ (recreated from Santoro, 2018: 76)

 

This simultaneous compound is composed by the fingerspelled letter L, which refers to the first letter of the Italian word legge, and by a whole entity classifier, which in this case refers to the concept of a concrete flat object on which the law is written.
