hi i have an interpreting question for anyone who knows asl. i know the sign for "spirit" and for "body", but i need a seperate sign for "soul". i have not been able to find one. i wonder if a sign needs to be invented! i know that "soul" and "spirit" are signed the same in asl. BUT, they are two completely different concepts. the spirit is housed in the body, and the soul is simply the interface btwn the soul and body - the border @ which the spirit and body touch. (u can think of it as how oil meets water; the 2 touch but never mix.) so, what would be a good sign to show what the soul is? i don't feel it's appropriate to use the sign for "border" or some synonym because that's too generic. the soul houses our will, our thought-life, and our emotions. so, it's certainly more than a border! does anyone have any idea of what kind of sign i could make that would signify what the soul is as well as the fact that it is the place @ which the body and spirit touch? whoever tries to come up with something, i take my hat off to you!
thanks in advance for your help
