Insert the right index from the distal side into the left hand loops, drop the 

 right hand loops, and inserting the right hand in between the radial and ulnar 

 left hand strings, pull out the loops. They come away free in each hand.

 "Lambiam anum istum."

 "Lambi, Iambi." 



XC. The Two Thighs 



The Copper Eskimos, among whom alone this figure was found, called it 

 mimilyuok, "the two thighs." It is a continuation of the Barrow and Inland 

 Eskimo figure "the bow" (see No. LXXXIX). 



Make "the bow." 



Pass the thumbs down on the proximal side of all the strings, pressing their 

 ulnar strings before them. 



Put the thumb loops together (as in the first movement of ka;tilluik), still 

 holding the palms turned down, then with the back of each thumb from the 

 distal side take up the ulnar little finger string and draw it through. 



Drop the little finger loops. You have "the two thighs."
