SignWriting Question...from Deaf Church in Michigan

[Cherie Wren]

You wouldn't really sign it that way.  If I am signing "we offer 6 classes in various locations all over," I would still only repeat the sign CLASS 3 times, max.  When I get into details about what the 6 locations are, I still wouldn't sign class with 6 repetitions in a row....  Is this an artistic thingie?  Or is there some other weird non-linguistic reason to be signing it that way?  

Given that there is a reason for doing this (I'll assume... ;-) I would sign the repetitions in an arc, like you show with three reps in one of your attached pics.

Hello SW List Members!

Today, on Skype, I received a SignWriting question from the team of writers at the Deaf Church in Michigan.

The question is...how to write the sign for CLASS...6 times...or even 12 times.

The sign is showing many classes all over the place, ...in 6 different locations...or even 12 different locations.

Their original writing was the attached diagram...but now I am going to try to write it with 6 or 12 locations. I will post my answer to the List next message, and I hope, if you have any ideas, you will share with us...feedback is welcome!

Val ;-)
