I personally sign it with a claw handshape and an up-out movement, but 
that's not what I saw when I looked closely at the video... it's not so much 
an up-out movement as a rotation from the elbow, and I'm not sure what to 
make of that.

Ah, yes... I get it!  Again, writing "phonetically" instead of what the sign 
actually means... you're right, though, I didn't understand the sign when I 
was watching it.

I'm looking forward to seeing it! ;-)

This sign I did recognize as a "lazy" version of MAKE.  I didn't see the 
rotation, though... my screen is so small, and when I enlarge the picture it 
becomes so blurred, that I have trouble with the faster signs.

It does?  I knew she meant to sign WILL, which I know is on the dominant 
side of the head, but it looked like her hand was so far to the non-dominant 
side from the previous sign that she didn't bring it all the way back over 
for this sign.

Thanks Adam!  I'm looking forward to seeing them!
