Eternal truth

Translated into ASL by David Bar-Tzur

Created 7 April 2006, links updated monthly with the help of LinkAlarm.

EXPLANATION OF THE GLOSSING SYSTEM
(to understand how I describe the signs in this translation).

1. YOURSELF FOREVER TRUE, BECOME MINE. ME REALLY-WANT LIVE IN YOUR WAY. SUNSET DARK, BRING-TO-me LIGHT. ME WEAK, GIVE-TO-me STRENGTH. YOUR FACE SHOW-TO"all" TRUTH. LOOK-DOWN-ON-me ME. EVERYTHING FAIL, YOU STILL SUPORT ME.

2. YOURSELF FOREVER TRUE, SHINE-DOWN-FROM-heaven-TO-earth WAY THROUGH LIVE, ITSELF FAIR STRAIGHT. ME GO-TOWARDS-GOAL, REALLY-WANT "WHAT"? (<) HONEST, (>) SMART, INSIDE-SELF COOPERATE. TRUTH SOUND SWEET, SPREAD LIKE BELL. ME WANT HEAR ALL YOUR WISDOM.


Notes: ME - Underlined words are honorific indices ("indexes"), using the FT of the upturned palm to indicate who is being honored.

REALLY-WANT - WANT but shaken back and forth to show intensity.

LIGHT - Same sign as BRIGHT and CLEAR, that is, (2h)[O^], POs away, FOs up, open to (2h)[5], while separating. For a QuickTime file of this sign, see ASL Pro: Light - 1.

SHINE-DOWN - [O^] is held high PO > signer; hands open to [5^] while moving > signer.

FAIR - EQUAL.

GO-TOWARDS-GOAL - like the sign GOAL but the DH moves in a vertical circle while going towards the goal to show a constant process.
