ANST - RE:ASL

[Russell Husted]

Stefan li Rous,
  I would like to add, modify, or give alternatives to some of the signs 
listed in the florigium. I developed in conjunction with ASL interpreters 
some signs I use for SCA terms. Some of the ones listed in your florigium 
have some conceptual flaws, and should be modified. Some are not needed if 
the interpreter is speaking in ASL.
  Simple examples would be Chiergeon... the sign that is segested is a place 
sign not a person sign. A simple change would be to make a "c" on the inside 
of the wrist, like doctor"d" or nurse"n".Even a person with no SCA 
experience would translate that sign as a person in the health field. Duke, 
which uses a sign realated to the shape of the coronet does not translate to 
a person with no SCA experience, however a 'D' down the sash translates a 
person of importance who's title starts with a "d". Even an non SCA person 
will get that.

for those who do not know how ASL is spoken her is an example of an AOA done 
in ASL.

All(showing a group) learn King (point at king)Queen(point at queen)command 
(point at person)have AOA given now all(showing group again).


short and sweet, that is ASL

your servant,
mahee

yes I know I am blathering on again, and still cannot spell. the scary thing 
is that I have gotten better.
