With all of this talk on {chIp}, I can't help but wonder how people feel about {qI'} sign (a treaty).
I believe it refers to the act of authorizing an agreement, legislation, or order, not simply writing your name. "(a treaty)" is not just one kind of thing you can sign; it is telling us which /sense/ of sign is intended. If I write my name at the bottom of a letter, that is not *qI'.* If the President of the United States writes his or her name at the bottom of a bill, that is *qI'.* -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
