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...

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?

> 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...
