32. True, It is: Lower the hand in front of the breast, then extend the index-finger, raise and move it straight forward before the person. (G. S. 273.)
33. Lie: Pass the second and third finger of the right hand toward the left side in front of the mouth.—By the expression "second and third" finger the author means, as appears in other connections, the index and middle finger. The idea of double tongued, two kinds of talk, prevails now among all Indian tribes, though it is sometimes made by one finger, the index, moved successively from the mouth in two different directions. (G. S. 166.)
34. Know: Spread the thumb and index-finger of the right hand, sweep toward the breast, moving them forward and outward so that the palm turns up. (G. S. 161.)
35. Do not know: First place the fingers in the preceding position, then turn the right hand upward with spread fingers so that they point outward toward the right side. (G. S. 162.)
36. Much: Move both hands toward one another and slightly upward.—This is the formation of a "heap." (G. S. 208; S. L. 24.) 37. Little: Pass the nearly closed hands several times by jerks over one another, the right hand above. (G. S. 238.)
38. Trade: Strike the extended index-finger of the right hand several times upon that of the left. (G. S. 268.)
39. Exchange: Pass both hands with extended forefingers across each other before the breast.—In the author's mind "exchange" was probably intended for one transaction, in which each of two articles took the place before occupied by the other, and "trade" was intended for a more general and systematic barter, indicated by the repetition of strokes, in which the index-fingers mutually changed positions. (G. S. 105.)
40. Horse: Place the index and third fingers of the right hand astraddle the index-finger of the left.—By the "third" the author means the middle finger. He counts the thumb as the first. (G. S. 144.)
41. Horse, To ride a: As before stated, but with this difference, that the right hand extends farther and the gesture is made quickly. (G. S. 147.)
