Hello Jonita!
I was just sitting down to write a message to you, to tell you that  
yes, I can answer your question now (from two weeks ago)...and I got  
this message from you just now! Perfect timing...smile...

I am posting your message now to the SW List...and I will write again  
next message with my answer on the SW List...

Here is Jonita's message for everyone on the SignWriting List to  
read...(see message below)

If you want to see the video clip Jonita is referring to, go to

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

and type in the search field:

Mark 7:31-37

For the Mac, it has to be in that exact format or it will not work,  
but once you get the video you can find the section in the middle that  
Jonita is talking about...it is a fascinating display of the visual  
spatial way that ASL does role shifting etc...and of course an  
advanced writing....using Lanes and shoulders and head facing the  
front corners etc...So see my next message for my answer on how to  
write this...it may take me a few hours....if someone else wants to  
write it too that would be great...Val ;-)

Subject: How to sign an invisible person??

Hi Val,

I know I talked with you on the phone about this, but I have not had a  
computer that was working to get on and figure out how to go to the  
list and ask. So I am hoping that either you found an answer or you  
can send this onto the list and someone else can answer me.

I am watching a video (if you can see the video it is the Bible, Mark  
07_31-37 at .43 on the counter). Jesus is healing a Deaf/Mute man. --   
First Jesus sticks his fingers into the mans ears and then removes  
them. Then Jesus licks his finger and reaches forward and touches the  
man's tongue. (All you see is Jesus movements)  ----    Next it tells  
you that the man has his mouth open with tongue out waiting for Jesus  
touch. (Here all you see is the man with mouth open)---- So how do I  
show to whom Jesus to doing this too and that the man's tongue was  
touched when there is only one person on the video.

This was my thoughts but it needs work. I also attached it so  
hopefully you will be able to see it. (And I know the shoulders are  
the wrong ones but wasn't going to fix them until I decided if this  
was even usable.  So any help out there??

Jonita
