POLAND sign for GORY

[Charles Butler]

Ah, then the deaf use multiple mountains as it were.  I was misconstruing as some of ASL patterns do a motion across the board once for a verb, twice for a verb.
   
    sit (verb)  chair (noun)

    Ah, I was trying to follow your prior message about most signs motion (for nouns) happening once, not multiple times, and that "hearies" tended to make enough motions to follow the syllables of the spoken word.

  But, Charles, the word GORY has 2 syllabes, so the hearies use just 2 movemets: one left, one right. They "feel" it's enough :-)
