         DefinitionShort: to signal to someone by means of part of the body, especially by means of the head or hands{N:001}

         Glosses: ['to gesture', 'to motion', 'to nod', 'to beckon']

         Comments: In a number of languages it is necessary to be quite specific with regard to types of gestures or motions of the head or hands and arms. For example, in {S:04301302400002} there is an obvious question involved, and this may require in some languages a particular signal by means of the hands or face. The same would be true in the case of {S:04200106200002}. In {S:04200102200036} the gesture would have to be something which would explain or indicate Zechariah’s inability to speak, while in {S:04200500700004} quite another gesture would no doubt be called for, since the persons involved were at quite a distance from one another.
