For this, I'd suggest making up a sign for "stump." First, if someone comes up to me in real life and makes the sign for "stump", I'm going to be clueless. I'll be able to describe the gesture, maybe, but won't have any idea what it means. Second, no one is going to emote *says the Elven word for 'hello'*. Sign language, even just built of emotes without the use of the Ear, is still a language. Being a special case in Layonara, you can make up whatever you want for it and it's suddenly "official." No one will be able to tell you that emote isn't really your character's name.
If I'm thinking of a gesture for "stump," I'd use *places a fist in his palm*, kinda like playing Rock-Paper-Scissors and going for Rock. Use that one if you like, or make up your own. Whatever works for you.
