00I knew one more word which could be used in place of `shake' but now I forgot it. I think, that word, starts with `n'. Do you know that?, please let me know if yes.0-

0A nod of the head is an up-and-down movement, and in the West, it means 'yes'. A shake of the head is a side-to-side movement and means 'no'.02br
