Gave a nonverbal affirmative (6)

I believe the answer is:

nodded

(Other definitions for nodded that I've seen before include "Showed assent or recognition" , "Signalled affirmation" , "Signified assent" , "Lowered and raised the head" , "Signified agreement" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
