noted preferably bynsiiifj the latter sign and by stopping' the motion of 

 the hand several times in carrying it oat to its final extended position, in 

 resemblance of the walking away of the person. {Dakota I.) "He has 

 walked away." 



The opened right band being advanced about a foot and at the height 

 of the navel, palm toward the left fingers separated a little, hand bent 

 at the wrist and pointing downward and forwai-d, move it straight 

 ahead about a foot, and at the same time raise the ends of the fingers 

 until the hand is horizontal. (Dakota IV.) 



This is indicated by a motion the reverse of Come, and when the 

 sign is completed the hand stands as in the beginning of the former 

 gesture. (Mandan and Hidatsa I.) 



Place the closed hand, knuckles upward, before the breast; elevate 

 the index and pass the hand slowly, in a jerking or interrupted move- 

 ment toward the front and left, palm facing the front. (Kaiowa I; Co- 

 manche III; Apache II; Wichita II.) 



With the index only extended, point to the earth and trace a coarse 

 along the earth toward and above the horizon. [Apache I.) 



Go away. 



Place the open left hand twelve inches or so in front of the lower jiart 

 of the chest, pointing forward toward the right, palm looking obliquely 

 upward and backward; then tpiickly pass the palm of the right hand 

 forward and upward across that of the left and beyond it about a foot. 

 (Dakota IV.) 



The hand, with the palm facing downward and backward, is held close 

 to the body and about on a level with the stomach; it is moved ujjward 

 to a le\el with the top of the head, a foot or so in front of it, describing 

 an arc whose convexity is forward. (Mandan and Hidatsa I.) 



The right hand is closed as in type-position (B), and arm semiflexed, 

 bringing hand to center of body. The arm is now suddenly extended 

 to full length and hand expanded in the movement. (Oto I.) "To re- 

 move from." 



The right arm is flexed, and the hand, in position (B 1), more horizon- 

 tal, is brought to the epigastrium. The arm is then suddenly extended, 

 hand likewise, with the index finger pointing directly from the body. 

 Accompanying this sign there is generally a repulsive or forbidding- 

 frown assumed by the countenance when one is ordered to depart from 

 displeasure. To go on a message, the countenance assumes a sinile, but 

 sign is identical and is combined with sign for Speak. (Oto and Mis- 

 souri I.) " To withili'aw or move from."
