Or is there some other weird non-linguistic reason to be signing it that way?

Hi Cherie -
When I was asked the question, that was my immediate reaction..."was this really necessary to really sign six different times or 12 different times?", but they are transcribing the Bible from a video made by Deaf Missions, and I believe they must have signed it that way on the video....so assuming we have to write it 6 or 12 times, the question is, how best to do that?...thanks for your input about the repetitions in an arc...

Val ;-)
