<span>i would think Might makes right. these were not highly educated people. I doubt they would understand the other alternatives you offered. But if you could put the ideas into simple words they might. But then would it be your understanding or the characters?
The concept of "agent" has many variations and interpretations..the sign for "person" is sometimes initialized with the letter "P" but in everyday signing there is generally no reason to use the "P" handshapes. You can just use "flat" hands..When you use the PERSON-[agent] sign in combination with other signs you should always use "flat" hands (not "P"-hands)
