SignWriting Question...from Deaf Church in Michigan

[SignWriting]

Except the question was asked on Skype, without my seeing the  
video...but Ron has just given us the information about finding the  
video, so I went to this location and put in the correct verse, but my  
Mac does not play the video...


Go to Deaf Missions site:

http://deafmissions.com/?PageID=65

Enter following verse in box:

Mark 06_30-44


it says I do not have the right version of RealPlayer even though I  
have downloaded the latest version, so...this used to happen a lot so  
I purchased the videos of the Bible translation from Deaf Missions  
that they are transcribing from, so now I have the DVD but now I have  
to find that exact sign in the video clip...haven't gotten there yet!

Obviously writing exactly what is on the video is the best way to go,  
but sometimes questions are asked in general...

Writing multiple times like that sometimes would result in a new  
"combination movement symbol" in the past...for example...rotation  
symbols placed in a "circle design" could become a combo symbol in  
time if it happened a lot, but this is the first time I have had a  
question about doing one sign 6 or 12 times...

Anyway...if I find the video I will tell you all...
