Please keep in mind that symbolic gestures, even more than words, are polysemic.

Everybody realizes this,I think, on a daily basis in everyday life, except when discussing other people's religious beliefs.

Please keep in mind that symbolic gestures, even more than words, are polysemic:

the coexistence of many possible meanings for a word or phrase.

So that gives you the RIGHT to choose the one that was NOT chosen by trained translators?
