question for the way to express 'made'

[Charles Butler]

Hmm.  In context the sign, I would think would be either "make" or "create".  The tense is carried by the situation.


create

Subject: [sw-l] question for the way to express 'made'

Dear Adam and Valerie;

   I'm implementing the system now. While I have a question:

     why can't we use an ASL gesture to express the meaning of 'made' on the first page of the 'Frosty the Snow Man', other than using the FingerSpellings to sign these four letters respectively?

     I suppose the reason is because the word 'made' is a past tense, and there is no ASL for it.

  The reason I'm asking is my intention is to implement the first page as a 4-by-4 output pattern, which are 16 sign-boxes in total includes those punctuations. So I'm looking for a way to squeeze the word 'made' into a box. 

  Thanks 
Gan
