Notes: PRAY - (2h)[B] press palms together and circle vertically normal (perpendicular) to the torso.

THE - Underlined words are honorific indices ("indexes"), using the FT of the upturned palm to indicate who is being honored.

BOW-DOWN - (2h)[B], POs away, FOs up, are held like the final position of GIVE-UP, then bend these arms twice while bowing at waist once.

alt.GIFT-TO"each"+pc - (2h)[X], POs ><, FOs > the recipents, hands move together from NDS to DS with puffed cheeks.

FAVOR - FAVORITE.

GIVE-BIRTH - S-ENTER. Not to be confused with BORN. The child is BORN, the mother GIVE[s]-BIRTH.

IDEA-LIKE - A blending where IDEA has a [Y] instead of an [I] in anticipation of LIKE which is signed smoothly right afterwards.

VINE - Start like GROW and hands pronate (twist to POs away) and become (2h)[5:]. For a movei fo this sign, go to Dictionary of Sign (ASL) - vine.

TAKE-OFF - Like DEVELOP but moves quickly and abruptly with a "po".

TEMPLE - T-CHURCH.

JERUSALEM - [B with thumbs flush with other fingers but not folded into palm], touches mouth and then pronates.

SUCCEED - SUCCESS.
