Expand & verify the Khmer Sign Language starter vocabulary #3

Description

@sengtha

What

Review and expand the starter word list the /sign collector prompts people to sign, in src/assets/signPrompts.ts.

Why

The current list (fingerspelling alphabet, digits, common words) is only a scaffold. Khmer Sign Language (KSL) belongs to the Deaf community, and the authoritative signs/vocabulary should come from Deaf signers and educators — not from us.

Especially looking for

  • Deaf signers, KSL interpreters, and special-education teachers to say which words matter most to teach/recognize first, and to flag anything wrong or missing.
  • Additions grouped like the existing sets (greetings, family, school, daily, health…), Khmer label + short English gloss.

Where to start

  • src/assets/signPrompts.ts — add entries to the GROUPS object (keep ids stable; don't renumber existing ones).
  • Context and the collect→train→release plan: docs/SIGN-COLLECTION.md.

Acceptance

  • Vocabulary expanded/corrected with input grounded in real KSL usage.
  • npm run typecheck passes.

This is a great issue for community contributors even if you don't code — comment with suggested words/corrections and we'll help get them in. 🤟
