To spread the fingers as much as possible, gives the eccentro-eccentric hand.  This is exasperation.

In the subjoined charts we can see an illustration of the different attitudes of the hand.

Recapitulation

II   +—­   2   +—­ Concentro-concentric.     Conflict.
|     3 --+   Normo-concentric.         Tonic or power.
|     1   +-- Eccentro-concentric.      Convulsive.
|
|     2   +-- Concentro-normal.         Prostration. 
III —­+     3 —­+   Normo-normal.             Abandon.
|     1   +-- Eccentro-normal.          Expansion.
|
|     2   +-- Concentro-eccentric.      Retraction.
|     3 --+   Normo-eccentric.          Exaltation. 
I   +—­   1   +—­ Eccentro-eccentric.       Exasperation.

The nine primitive forms of the hand are, as is seen, undetermined.
