The second step consists in a rotary movement of the arm, its object being to present the epicondyle (elbow-joint) to the interlocutor. For this reason the epicondyle is called the eye of the arm.
The third stage consists in substituting the articulation of the wrist for the epicondyle. In making the forward movement of the body, the epicondyle must resume its natural place.
The fourth step consists in extending the hand toward the speaker in such a way as to present to him the extremities of the fingers.
The fifth step is formed by a rapid rotation of the hand.

Thanks--Affectionate and Ceremonious.
This gesture consists of six steps:

2. Consists in raising the hand to the hip.

4. In this, the head resumes its normal position, while the elbow is lowered to bring back the hand to the same position.
