354 Observations on the Language of Signs. 
Hence we easily derive the natural signs to express the 
ideas conveyed by these words. To dook, is a repetition of 
ing with intention to seek or search for an object, and 
the action is accordingly more intense than simple sight, 
and its sign is represented by a repetition of the sign of 
seeing. 
To gaze is a still more eager or earnest operation of 
sight than looking, and its definition is a triple sight, but the 
of seeing need not be used. since the action is to be 
innit apparent by the expression of the countenance: to 
gaze, to look intently. There are several modifications of 
this action, as, To gaze from stenosis gaze — in- 
ze w

—to gaze with hog Tostare is also a manner tas ga- 
, and is that impudent action of the oyge py which a 
will eahen con- 
sidered as an interjection ora verb. When an interjection, 
it will be expressed by a sudden emotion, followed by an 
intent gaze of inquiry, which settles into the action of the 
verb to behold, in which you see, see, see, without being 
satisfied, inasmuch as you come to no conclusion, nor —_ 
any discove ery.

vey an object on all sides, and examine it with care e ob- 
tain a correct idea of its shape, size, use, &c. 
expression is therefore a compound action, as we ook 
steadfastly at the object while we he em or near to 
it, to to satisfy our curiosity i: in V its” an
