<div> </div> <div>Because this is a multi-source dictionary, with multiple dialects represented, it is very helpful to know which source you used. Fernando Capovilla is a good friend of mine, as is Sr. Rocha of the Signet Project in Porto Alegre/Pelota, and Marianne Stumpf of the UFSC. Any of these have contributed to this project in the past, and each of them have their own knowledge of specific dialects.

notes, explaining where a word came from (Latin, Greek, German, other languages) so that one sees how a word has changed in a spoken language over time. We should, I think, be as careful in our citations in this kind of a dictionary.

<br>There is in Brazil a big sign language dictionary, from Dr. Capovilla.<br><br>What if I wanted to add signs to Sign Puddle and I used the signs of the dictionary.
