in Irish Sign Language

[Gabriel Beecham]

Thanks for the welcome! Charles: cheers for the transcription. The 
current logo is only modified slightly from the one used on our old 
site, and it could probably do with replacing so as to represent ISL 
better. Shane: good idea, I suppose the Centre for Deaf Studies would be 
the obvious place to ask :-)

OK, I've scanned in pictures of the signs from an ISL dictionary along 
with the corresponding entries; I've put them up at 
http://www.geocities.com/gabriel_beecham/images/tcd.htm, along with my 
own explanation of the signs.

I've also put up my initial attempt to transcribe the word "Trinity" and 
would appreciate advice on what I've done wrong. For example, how do you 
illustrate changes in shape when the hand stays stationary?

Awaiting your comments!
