Note: 1. This variant is related to both WANT and NEED. It is sometimes just a variant of WANT with the spread fingers merely a relaxed handshape. However, spreading of the fingers of a flat handshape can express intensity, hence NEED (stronger and necessity) than WANT (weaker and mere desire). 2. Intensity (ie NEED) is also often expressed by repeating the sign. NEED is more often repeated than WANT. 3. In this form, the signer often mouths a distinction if one needs to be made as 'want' or 'need' as the case maybe.
