  23. We might call it a letter. But it is really a "sign" that represents a letter.

  24. Fingerspelling: A, B, C ... are "free morphemes."

  25. They are meaningful units of language.

  34. #WHAT = "W-T" (plus movement)

  35. Fingerspelling changes to look more like a sign.

  36. Separate morphemes change to look like one morpheme.

  37. We call that change process...
