Place the luinds tliuinb to thumb, palms forward, fingers exteutled, 

 separated, and pointiug upward, then move them from above the right 

 hip forward and toward the left. (Pai-Ute I.) 



Denf-imite natural sign. — No geiiei'al sign, but for riding, whether on 

 horseback or ou wheels, the sign was made by bending the arms and 

 raising and depressing the elbows in imitation of a man riding ou 

 horseback, and moving the hand horizontally forward to signify away. 

 {Ballard.) 



Knnning. 



Hold the hand in the same position as Walking', and, with the fore- 

 finger extended forward, advance the hand, keeping the closed portion 

 underneath, and turning it slightly and rapidly to right and left by a 

 quick motion of the wrist. {Iroquok I.) 



Traveling: marching. 



The hand held vertically as high as the neck, with slightly divided 

 fingers, and rocked edgewise forward and backward upon the wrist, 

 extending the arm a little forward. This sign resembles that for Qiieisi- 

 tion, but ditt'ers in the direction of the motion of the hand. {Long.) 



Hands placed in the position for making the sign for Battle, excei>t 

 that they are further separated, and tLen describe a series of half circles 

 or forward arch like movements with both hands. (Dakota I.) "Per- 

 son walking." 



Hand on edge, extended, tips forward, palm in (T on edge, forward); 

 wave it vertically and forward. Both hands used, indicate two parties, 

 especially the double column in which troops always march. (Apache 

 III.) " Ambulant, forward motion." 



Walkinjr. 



Close the hand except the index finger, and with that extended, at the 

 height of the breast, move the hand forward, bringing it down a little, 

 at i-egular intei-vals, to imitate the steady movement of a walker. (Iro- 

 quois I.) 



Gone iindei*, (li!<iappeared tVoni rieit'. 



Left hand fiattencd and held back upward, thumb inward, in front of 

 and a few inches from the breast, right hand slightly clasped, forefinger 

 more extended than the others, and passed suddenly under the left hand, 

 the latter being at the same time gently moved toward the breast. The 

 idea here is tliat the person has gone under a covering of some kind, as 

 a table, tent, blanket, &c., or gone under the water, i. e., disappearance 

 from view, not used in the sense of dead, death, or permanent disap- 

 pearance. (Dakota I.)
