Hi Cherie -
When I was asked the question, that was my immediate reaction..."was  
this really necessary to really sign six different times or 12  
different times?", but they are transcribing the Bible from a video  
made by Deaf Missions, and I believe they must have signed it that way  
on the video....so assuming we have to write it 6 or 12 times, the  
question is, how best to do that?...thanks for your input about the  
repetitions in an arc...

Val ;-)
