<DIV>1) The Brazilian sign language sign for "I've been robbed" (se roubar) is entirely a tongue flick. The tongues are located in the fourth column. Sign Bank seems to have developed a glitch so I can't pull it up.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2) Elliptical circle that repeats. Most of the circles have single or double motion on them. Here is the sign for "continue indefinitely". <IMG alt=continue-indefinitely src="http://signbank.org/signpuddle/sgn-US/dict/sl/continue-indefinitely.png" align=middle border=0> </DIV>
<DIV>The both-hands arrow on the circle indicates indefinitely repeated motion. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Most of the ellipsis in the IMWA have single and double motion variants.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>3) I created "flew on and on" (like in some story) to show fast forward and then relaxed return to give you how I would write it. I'd write the forward motion with a "tense" marker and then the back and under loop with a "loose" marker" if you wanted to write detail. One could leave off the "loose" marker. Almost every sign with a double-forward has a scarcely detectable backward loop which can be brought out for emphasis if one slows the sign down for storytelling.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope this works for you. </DIV>
