Two strings run perpendicularly in the middle from the upper to the lower 

 transverse strings on the proximal side. With the palm of each thumb from the 

 proximal side raise up the nearer of these strings, then from the proximal side 

 take up with them the radial index strings. 



Navaho the thumbs and drop the index loops. 



You have "the two musk-oxen," one against each hand, facing in opposite 

 directions.

Opening A. 



With the thumbs from the proximal side remove the index loops, then from 

 the distal side the little finger loops (passing the thumbs over the radial little 

 finger strings into their loops). 



Pass the little fingers from below from the proximal side into the thumb 

 loops, press down the ulnar strings, allow the two transverse strings to slip off, 

 then hook the little fingers down over them. 



Pass the indices into the thumb loops from the distal side, press back the 

 diagonal strings, then hook their palms over the distal radial (the distal trans- 

 verse) string. 



Drop the two distal loops on the thumbs and katilluik the remaining loop 

 (the upper transverse string). 



Transfer the thumb loops to the indices. 



In the middle two strings run from upper to lower transverse strings, one 

 on each side. With the back of each thumb from the proximal side take up the 

 nearer one of these strings below the middle transverse string.* 



Katilluik the thumbs. 



Transfer the thumb loops to the indices. 



A string runs from the radial to the ulnar little finger sfangs on the proximal 

 side near each hand. Take each up with the back of the nearer thumb and 

 carefully katilluik.
