Hello all--

No, the subject line is not a typo.  I am interested, linguistically, 
in ASL, as I said in my bio.  Would you understand

ghopHol

as meaning 'sign language'?  Perhaps a lesson could be learned from 
the example (so I'm told) in Spanish, which translates as "the 
language with the hands for Deaf people" (el languaje con los manos 
por los sordomutos), as in:

Qoybe'wI'pu'vaD ghopHol

but this seems a little excessive.  I imagine Klingons kill deaf 
babies. (or any handicapp...no need to single out one!).
