Signing Savvy, Your Sign Language Resource

Isn't that the same sign?

Similar but not the same. Alone is held straight up and in simply a complete circle. Think about when someone says "this always happens". They may roll the sound, meaning this happens over and over. When signing always you may wish to roll crazily your wrist at a diagonal. ASL is as much about how the words are delivered as how they are signed.

so always and alone are different signs? what about "some" or "something"?
