 Exhausted, consuiiied, completed. 



The left hand, extended, ])alin upward, pointing diagonally forward 

 and to the right, is placed before the chest. Then the right hand, 

 palm downward, is laid transversely on the left, and, while the left re- 

 mains stationary, the right is carried forward a foot or more with a 

 rapid sweep. To show a gradual diminution and then exhaustion, the 

 right palm revolves on the left once or oftener with a gradual motion, 

 as if some plastic; substance were made sijherical between the palms. 

 (Mandan and Hidatm I.) 



Place the open left hand in front of the navel, palm backward, and 

 move the opened right hand, |)alm downward, in a horizontal circle 

 above it. {Oto I.) "All caught, killed, or destroyed. That's the end 

 of it." 



This sign resembles that for do. The right arm, flexed, and the 

 baud, in position (B 1), modified by being more horizontal, is brought 

 to the epigastrium. The arm is then suddenly extended, hand likewise, 

 with (ingers extended approximated, palms downward. The left hand 

 in the same position approaches the side of the right, both now being in 

 type-position (W), diverge and sweep backward. {Oto aud Missouri I.) 

 "All gone or swept away." 



By force. 



Imitate the breaking of a stick in the two hands and throwing the 

 pieces away, then lightly strike the palms and open fingers of the hands 

 together as if brushing dust off them. The amount of force used and 

 the comjileteness of the destruction is shown by greater or less vigor of 

 action and facial expression. [Dodge.) 



Anything of little importance, and by accident or design. 



Indicate the object, then slightly strike the pabns and open fingers of 

 the hands together, as if brushing dust off from them. (Dodi/e.) 



Rotate the right palm upon the left as if rubbing something into 

 smaller fragments. {Kaiowal; Comanche 111; Apache II; Wichita II.) 

 " Rubbing out ; grinding to atoms." 



Raise both hands to position on right of face, fingers extended, sepa- 

 rate, and pointing upward, palms facing each other (R 1, right and left), 

 then with an energetic movement throw both to left side, as though 

 throwing something violently to the ground ; then place hands near 

 together and make sign for All groiie. [Sahaptin I.) " Broken into 

 pieces; nothing of its former self remaining." 



Deaf-mute natural sir/n. — Imitate the act of breaking and move the 

 haiuls in a curve in opposite directions.. {Ballard.)
