Where

The sign for "where" is made using your index finger. Hold your hand in front of you and "waggle" the finger side to side a couple of times.  Imagine yourself looking at a map on the wall.  You put your finger on the map and move your fingertip a bit to the left then a bit to the right as you try to finger out "where" you are on the map. 

 

Notice the "furrowed eyebrows."  They are part of the sign.  You use "furrowed eyebrows" for all of the "wh-" question types:  WHO, WHEN, WHERE, WHY, WHICH, FOR-FOR-(what-for)
