SignWriting Question...from Deaf Church in Michigan

SignWriting List
July 3, 2009

These are great pictures, Adam! Thanks for doing that. Now we can see  
that there are three Lanes. Most of the time, a Lane means a weight  
shift...a little over to the left, puts the sign in the Left Lane,  
then the weight shifts to the Center Lane and then the weight shifts  
to the Right Lane, and the sign itself is also performed a little to  
the Left, then Center, then a little to the Right...

These photos capture the feeling of Lanes very well!

My question...does he do more than one "GROUP" in each Lane? Or does  
he move back to the Left Lane to do the fourth group a little higher?  
or the same height as the first time?

Val ;-)
