Crossword-Solution: GESTURER 8 letters, 3 clues 🏆 scrabble score: 9

The hand is raised slightly toward the face of the gesturer and shaken a few times in the direction of the person conversed with.

Some of the elaborate descriptions, giving with great detail the attitude of the fingers of any particular gesturer and the inches traced by his motions, are of as little necessity as would be, when quoting a written word, a careful reproduction of the flourishes of tailed letters and the thickness of down-strokes in individual chirography.

The tribes now cited use it for _a soldier_ of the same tribe as the gesturer, or perhaps for _soldier_ generically, as they subjoin a tribal sign or the sign for _white man_, when desiring to refer to any other than their own tribe.
