This sign is made with one hand at shoulder level and with the palm facing the ground. The hand first forms an X shape. Then the index finger straightens out, moving forward a little, then curves back and straightens out again thus continuing to move forward slowly like a worm.
The sign for SMALL made with one hand, with the thumb close to the index finger, is used after the sign for WORM to refer to a small worm. The sign for BIG, made with a C shaped hand, opening according to the desired size, is used to refer to a big worm.
For the plural, the hand in the shape of X is used as a classifier. It is placed at various places in the signing space as though many worms were being placed there. The sign for MANY may also be used after the sign for WORM instead.
When the noun WORM is the subject of a verb of movement, the hand in the shape of the sign for WORM (jew the X shape) moves according to the action indicated by the verb.
