Question 12

SIGN (as in signing)

Answer 12

SIGN

Question 13

SLOW

Answer 13

SLOW

Think of the sign and the speed of the sign as two separate indicators of meaning.
Think of “increased speed” of the movement of a sign as a general intensifier for whatever that sign means.
For example, if I sign “STUPID” quickly, it would mean: “very” stupid.
If I signed “UGLY” quickly it would mean “very” ugly.
Thus we see that signing something quickly tends to have the effect of creating the meaning “very.”
Thus the handshape, movement, palm orientation, and location of the sign SLOW (and many other signs) can be modified by signing them quickly–thus inserting the concept “very” into the meaning of the sign.
