Signing vocabulary
Silent-Death speaks DGS, and learned it in the Nuremberg area. In Ain, she will only use it with Chell unless someone specifically starts using it around her.
Disclaimer: My own DGS is super, super limited and what little I ever could actually do is very rusty. As such I'm bumbling my way through with only the internet and my rusty memory for guidance. So. If you do speak DGS and would like to help me out with this, I would be very excited.
This said: A list of names. The below is an approximation of the signs, translated back to English - since DGS doesn't usually have multiple words for the same thing or uses its words slightly differently, they might actually sound different. Names marked with * are adopted from Chell. Names that are already words (Red-Talons, Glass-Walkers) are simply translated directly. Garou are usually referred to by a direct translation of their Deed Name, of those I only list people here who are in game.
