Dear SW List, Adam. Bill and Tini -
Actually Adam is correct about nouns. They are not always double. I 
just looked though a bunch of written ASL documents from video, and 
many nouns are not double. But they are tense. ASL is a very compex 
language, and since I do not know ASL, I cannot correct anyone myself, 
when it comes to grammar. But I had heard from other hearing people 
that nouns were always double, but then I went through the dictionary 
we have, that is written by our Deaf staff back in the 1990's, and I 
found plenty of nouns that are not double...so I am going to be listing 
some nouns written in ASL now...this will be fun! - Val ;-)
