NOT YET: The
American Sign Language (ASL) sign for "not yet"
NOT-YET
Note:
This sign is similar to the sign for "LATE" except that
"not-yet" places the tongue over the bottom teeth, and uses a slight
headshake.
The dominant hand moves backward a couple times swinging at
the wrist.








The sign "not-YET" (not yet) generally uses a mouth morpheme to distinguish it
from the concept of "late / lateness / to be late." Here is a sentence using
"not yet" (not-YET). Note the mouth morpheme:

The sign for battery has many versions but the choice of the sign ELECTRIC for
battery in this particular sentence may be a result of coarticulation since
"battery" is following the X-handshape version of the (older / traditional) sign
for HEARING-AID.
