11. Phonetic Constraints A vowel alone cannot serve as a syllable. A monosyllabic sign cannot consist of just one handshape, one location, and one orientation. A lot of sign language include handshape changing.
12. Affixation in Signed Language A gesture may either precede or follow another gesture in signed language. Ex. To negate a word, a rapid turning over of the hand, affixed to the end of the root sign, indicates negating. The hand orientation in the suffix is reversed, therefore called the REVERSAL-OF-ORIENTATION suffix. Affixes may appear simultaneously in signed language, but not in spoken language.
