3.17.4. Vertical Dependencies

See note on continued gestures below

3.17.5. Horizontal Dependencies

LRB is dependent on the Form Column.

LRB must have the same number of codes and the same number and type of ops as the Form entry on which it depends.

The codes allowed in a given position in LRB are determined by the code in the corresponding position in Form:

Form code	L	R	B	LF	RF	H	WB

Note

If the code in Form is continued (ending with ~), the corresponding code in LRB must be the same as the LRB code associated with the Form code being continued on the immediately preceding line with a communicative act on the part of the speaker.

Example:

Line 1:
  Form: point + hold
  LRB: R + L
Line 2:
  Form: point~
  LRB: R
