Depends on the language. In American Sign Language, ASL:
Point at the target of the phrase, to set context.
With fingers spread (5-shape) and fingers pointing up, tap thumb to chin twice. (“Mother”)
Point at the target again to confirm context.
While smiling, use the same finger spread shape and tap thumb to chin and then your chest (archaic “Lady” in the same sense as “Gentleman”, akin to a noble title; may or may not be appreciated). Facial expressions are generally important in sign languages, also important in spoken language but helping here to carry the meaning of intonation along with wavering in the signing itself.
This is also why books on sign language are pretty terrible, fortunately the girls have a speaker to practice with. Motion is an intrinsic part of the language and makes descriptions verbose. Mind, that’s only really important if they want to talk to anyone else, the formalized sign languages were basically built up out of getting a bunch of Deaf people together and sharing what “home signs” they’d each individually figured out to talk with the people close to them. Sign languages are very prone to regional variation since it’s only very recent with ready video communication that languages have a chance to mix, any isolation between communities will lead to language drift and Deaf people end up pretty isolated.
I was just making a reference to Penny Arcade,because Monty Python (Your mother is a hamster) jokes are overused.
I wasn’t expecting an essay as a reply.

Also,I’m not surprised by that in the least,Ricki.
Ricki: Show Amadeusz what you’ve learned.
What are the hand-signs for “YOUR MOTHER IS A CLASSY LADY”?

Mac did. Don’t remember the others having one?
Edit: Lohk has a brazier or similar.
Should have specified “BESIDES bedrooms”,because Kamau & Rivki don’t have one,& I don’t see a lot of chimneys on the Manor.
How much longer till we finally get the guy’s backstory,like how he became a werewolf in the first place.
Also,how much shit do we have that we can actually sell?I’b be surprised if we can get 70 coins for the Comicbook & Closet combined.
