Hands and fingers interlaced. (Macgowan.)

—— MUCH.
Move both hands toward one another and slightly upward. (Wied.) I have seen this sign, but I think it is used only for articles that may be piled on the ground or formed into a heap. The sign most in use for the general idea of much or many I have given. (Matthews.)
Bring the hands up in front of the body with the fingers carefully kept distinct. (Cheyenne I.)
Both hands closed, brought up in a curved motion toward each other to the level of the neck or chin, (Cheyenne II.)
Both hands and arms are partly extended; each hand is then made to describe, simultaneously with the other, from the head downward, the arc of a circle curving outward. This is used for large in some senses. (Ojibwa V; Mandan and Hidatsa I.)
