Both hands, with spread and slightly curved fingers, are held pendent about two feet apart before the thighs; then draw them toward one another, horizontally, drawing them upward as they come together. (Absaroka I; Shoshoni and Banak I; Kaiowa I; Comanche III; Apache II; Wichita II.) "An accumulation of objects."
Hands about eighteen inches from the ground in front and about the same distance apart, held scoop-fashion, palms looting toward each other, fingers separated; then, with a diving motion, as if scooping up corn from the ground, bring the hands nearly together, with fingers nearly closed, as though holding the corn, and carry upward to the height of the breast, where the hands are turned over, fingers pointing downward, separated, as though the contents were allowed to drop to the ground. (Dakota I, II.)
Open the fingers of both hands, and hold the two hands before the breast, with the fingers upward and a little apart, and the palms turned toward each other, as if grasping a number of things. (Iroquois I.)
Place the hands on either side of and as high as the head, then open and close the fingers rapidly four or five times. (Wyandot I.) "Counting 'tens' an indefinite number of times."
Clasp the hands effusively before the breast. (Apache III.)
Deaf-mute natural signs;
Put the fingers of the two hands together, tip to tip, and rub them with a rapid motion. (Ballard.)
Make a rapid movement of the fingers and thumbs of both hands upward and downward, and at the same time cause both lips to touch each other in rapid succession, and both eyes to be half opened. (Hasenstab.)
Move the fingers of both hands forward and backward. (Ziegler.) Add to Ziegler's sign: slightly opening and closing the hands. (Wing.)
