             the holy symbols, or signs, are not barely

       1913 webster

   note: educaters of the deaf distinguish between natural

         methodical, or systematic, signs, adapted for the
         dictation, or the rendering, of written language, word
         by word; and thus the signs are to be distinguished

   j astron. the twelfth part of the ecliptic or zodiac.
       1913 webster

   note: the signs are reckoned from the point of intersection
         of the ecliptic and equator at the vernal equinox, and
         are named, respectively, aries aries, taurus
         taurus, gemini ii, cancer cancer, leo
         leo, virgo virgo, libra libra,
         scorpio scorpio, sagittarius sagittarius,
         {capricornus  capricorn, aquarius aquarius,
         pisces pisces. these names were originally the
         names of the constellations occupying severally the
         divisions of the zodiac, by which they are still
         retained; but, in consequence of the procession of the
         equinoxes, the signs have, in process of time, become
         separated about 30 degrees from these constellations,
         and each of the latter now lies in the sign next in
         advance, or to the east of the one which bears its
         name, as the constellation aries in the sign taurus,
         etc.

   l med. an objective evidence of disease; that is, one
       appreciable by some one other than the patient.
       1913 webster

   note: the terms symptom and and sign are often used
         synonymously; but they may be discriminated. a sign
         differs from a symptom in that the latter is perceived
         only by the patient himself. the term sign is often
         further restricted to the purely local evidences of
         disease afforded by direct examination of the organs
         involved, as distinguished from those evidence of
         general disturbance afforded by observation of the
         temperature, pulse, etc. in this sense it is often
         called physical sign.
         1913 webster
