Spam: ASL signs for DRINK

[Tini Pel]

Yes ,asterisk means contact, chair to sit on , you contact both two fingers twice. "that chair *~* me sit*, the latter you contact ones, from what I have learned. 
A person chairing a meeting? Would you use the word chair with a "person" symbol? or would you use "leader"? hmmm I wonder. Perhaps someone on the list could help me or us out?
L.I.F.E.

  Hi Tini
  What if I "chair" a board - as chairman of the board?  I'm thinking of the words that can be used as either a noun or a verb.  I thought the asterick * meant contact...

    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.
