A sign that does not move in space can nevertheless mark agreement with a <br>
spatial location, by its orientation and possibly its location as well.
Example:<br>
<st1:stockticker w:st="on">ASL</st1:stockticker> PITY (open-8 handshape, palm
toward object, middle finger repeatedly<br>
bending).<br>
<br>
Clarification of Denise's answer: in <st1:stockticker w:st="on">ASL</st1:stockticker>,
*many* verbs move [in space], but by <br>
no means all of them.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Wouldn't <st1:stockticker w:st="on">ASL</st1:stockticker>'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 <st1:stockticker w:st="on">ASL</st1:stockticker> 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. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
