Making a sign, as [with the lips, &c., as described above, or] with the hand, or arm, or with the head; ism jamʿ رَمَزٌ.

In the Qur'ān 3:36, instead of رَمْزًا some read رَمَزًا, with the meaning explained here; and some read رُمُزًا, meaning doing so to one another, plural of رَمُوزٌ [which is an intensive form, meaning making frequent signs &c.; like رَمَّازٌ].

Qur’ān 3:38 approximate — somewhere between 3:11 and 3:49 Lane cites “Kur iii. 36”
Qur’ān 3:41 located by this root inside the range Lane’s citation allows
قَالَ رَبِّ ٱجْعَل لِّىٓ ءَايَةً ۖ قَالَ ءَايَتُكَ أَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ ٱلنَّاسَ ثَلَـٰثَةَ أَيَّامٍ إِلَّا رَمْزًا ۗ وَٱذْكُر رَّبَّكَ كَثِيرًا وَسَبِّحْ بِٱلْعَشِىِّ وَٱلْإِبْكَـٰرِ

He said: "O my Lord! Give me a Sign!" "Thy Sign," was the answer, "Shall be that thou shalt speak to no man for three days but with signals. Then celebrate the praises of thy Lord again and again, and glorify Him in the evening and in the morning."Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)
