Note: We are not discussing "accomplish" -- we are discussing "accomplice."
Those are two different terms.
There are a variety of ways the concept of "accomplice" (someone who helps
someone else engage in bad or criminal activity).
The main way of signing "accomplice" is to simply structure your sentence in
such a way that your meaning is clear that someone is helping someone do
something bad.
Tell a narrative about someone doing something bad and then introduce someone
else to your narrative and use signs such as:
PERSON-(B) HELP-(directional toward PERSON-(A))
IX-(he/she/they) INVOLVED
IX-(he/she/they) HELP
IX-(he/she/they) WITH
If you decide you need a specific sign for "accomplice" and if you have enough
context -- I recommend you use the sign for ASSISTANT
[context] + ASSISTANT-(non-initialized version) can mean "accomplice."
Important: Don't ignore the "context" portion of that statement.
I am not suggesting that "ASSISTANT" alone equals accomplice but rather that if
you have strong, appropriate context then ASSISTANT is an option to mean
accomplice.
