Spam: ASL signs for DRINK

[Tini Pel]

You are right Bill, Doing something twice is a "noun" and doing something once is a "verb" . For example CHAIR is *~* and SIT is *

  Val,

  I don't know why we are talking about drinks.  Maybe we need one!  A good stiff one.  :-)

  My first thought on this is that it would be nice to have (n) and (v) after those.  The (n) for "noun" after "drink" used as a noun (I think it's the second one) and (v) for "verb" for when it's used as the act of drinking - more specifically, "to drink".  If I recall my ASL classes, doing something twice could indicate the noun form of the sign.

  Bill
