FW: Cree hand signals homepage

[Faith Powell]

As for "WHEN"....it looks very similar to the sign HAPPEN. When I first
learned ASL in the late 70's....the sign "HAPPEN" was used for the
word/concept of WHEN (conjunction) as in "He was walking down the street
when a dog attacked him" (Loosely glossed as INDEX WALK (classifier use)
HAPPEN DOG.......)

Interestingly, most of the signs listed are identical to ASL counterparts,
with some exceptions, i.e. SHOES, WHEN, HOW, and so on.  Can you find any
clue to those different signs than ASL ones?  Are they still used as
dialectal signs in some areas?
