The dactylology is not the LIS, it is only the MANUAL ALPHABET that is used to refer to proper name and to foreigner or unknown words.

Let's try some example:
BARCA (Boat) BOTTE (Hogshead) FARFALLA (Butterfly)

In the "LIS" the most important towns have specific signs; as an example: ROME MILAN TURIN

To INTRODUCE a person, the forename is fingered, but often a particular sign is used: the "name sign".

The "name sign" is used to identify persons by:
- a physical feature (Fabio/glasses)
- a character reference (Jessica/smile)
- a particular interest (Manuel/rocket) or more plainly
- the first letter of the name (F = Fabrizio)

Let's introduce
Fabrizio	Manuel
Fabio	Jessica
