[Sw-l] [SPAM] Re: On describing houses in slums using SW

[Adam Frost]

I agree. It would be best to have a video.

While I might be able to suggest how I would write it, it would be in ASL - using ASL grammar and linguistic features. I am not sure if that is the sign language that you are looking to write.

I'll take a stab a writing it after work...
