| 601 | Higgins (1923) | PERSEVERE | PERSEVERE | PERSEVERE: With right index point to heart, and then push both fists forward as if to push way through a crowd.

| 468 | Long (1918) | PERSEVERE | PERSEVERE, PERSIST, CONTINUE IN ACTION | PERSEVERE, PERSIST, CONTINUE IN ACTION: Draw the "B" hands up from the sides, palms down, and let the forefinger strike together, side by side, with ends of the hands pointing outward; separate and strike together again while the hands continue to be moved outward. Note: The same idea could be expressed by signing for "suffer" or "bear" and "continue," but the latter would indicate more a mental action. | 58 | hsldb.georgetown.edu/books/book-window.php?id=468&refid=long1918 |
