POLAND sign for GORY

[Charles Butler]

>From the video, the motion happens once on each hand, not twice, so I would think No. 4 would need to be adjusted.

Hello Everyone, and Lucy!
Thank you for sharing this fascinating sign with us...Videos can look 
different to people, so here is a word description of what is written 
in each sign below...Then you can tell us what fits best with the 
sign you know, or perhaps a combination of these:

gory 1
cupped hands moving right, left, right, left
the movement is a curve down-forward-down (hitting the horizon, the 
front wall, on the way down...like the sign for pregnant...this is a 
forward curve, not a side curve)

gory 2
flat-angle hands move in a three-quarter curve parallel to the front 
wall, up and around right, and then up and around left, finishing down

gory 3
flat-angle hands do two alternating but simultaneous circles parallel 
to the wall...while the right hand is down on the inside, the left 
hand is up on the outside....the double arrowhead tells you it is two 
circles...

gory 4
gently-angled hands move right, left, right, left in a half curve 
down and to the inside...finishing hands pointing down

hope this gives some good choices...and something to discuss!
