The following are a few examples of sentence formation, illustrating some of the Indian
idiomatic construction and forms of sentence construction generally. Certain
liberties of modern usage have been taken, such as the word "supper", which an
old-time Indian would not have used.
First we give the sentence with modern English construction, carrying the idea to be
conveyed. Then in rotation are shown the signs to be made. Then in capitals we
show the same thought, as interpreted in the idioms of sign language.
