I remember the sign THAT is used repetitively to show
continued attention to the speaker like repeating
uh-huh in English.
In Taiwan Sign Language the sign for pausing to gather
your thoughts is very similar to the ASL for
APPROXIMATELY or AROUND or ABOUT only with more of a
verticle element to the motion.
In Taiwan Madarin the meme was "nege". I can't
remember what it was in Taiwanese.
