<br>spatial location, by its orientation and possibly its location as well. Example:<br>ASL PITY (open-8 handshape, palm toward object, middle finger repeatedly<br>bending).<br><br>Clarification of Denise's answer: in ASL, *many* verbs move [in space], but by
<br>no means all of them.<br></blockquote><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Wouldn't ASL's PITY be an indicating verb? I understand that indicating verbs mean the ones that *move* and have a connection with the object or that the location has meaning. However, with ASL PITY it still shows that the object is in agreement here thus it is still considered a move, although it is not seen. It is like the BE-AT verbs that have the movement root but the object does not move. It is still a movement.
