Huerito.—­HE TOLD ME THAT IN FOUR DAYS I WOULD GO TO MY COUNTRY.

Close the right hand, leaving the index curved; place it about six inches from the ear and move it in toward the external meatus—­told me, hear, I heard, Fig. 311; with the right hand still closed, form a circle with the index and thumb by allowing their tips to touch; pass the hand from east to west at arm’s length—­day; place the left hand before the breast, the fingers extended, and the thumb resting against the palm, back forward, and, with the index, turn down one finger after another, beginning at the little finger—­four; touch the breast with the tips of the finger and thumb of the left hand collected to a point—­I; drop the hand a short distance and move it forward to arm’s length and slightly upward until it points above the horizon—­go to*; then as the arm is extended, throw the fist edgewise toward the ground—­my country.

Tendoy.—­IN TWO DAYS I GO TO MY COUNTRY JUST AS YOU GO TO YOURS.  I GO TO MINE WHERE THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF SNOW, AND WE SHALL SEE EACH OTHER NO MORE.

Place the flat hands horizontally, about two feet apart, move them quickly in an upward curve toward one another until the right lies across the left—­night, Fig. 312, repeat this sign—­two nights (literally two sleeps hence); point toward the individual addressed with the right hand—­you; and in a continuous movement pass the hand to the right, i.e., toward the south, nearly to arm’s length—­go; then throw the fist edgewise toward the ground at that distance—­your country; then touch the breast with the tips of the fingers of the left hand—­I; move the hand off slowly toward the left, i.e., toward the north to arm’s length—­go to*; and throw the clinched hand toward the ground—­my country; then hold both hands toward the left as high as the head, palms down, with fingers and thumbs pendent and separated; move them toward the ground two or three times—­rain, Fig. 313; then place the flat hands horizontally to the left of the body about two feet from the ground—­deep; (literally, deep rain) snow—­and raise them until about three feet from the ground—­very deep—­much; place the hands before the body about twelve inches apart, palms down, with forefingers only extended and pointing toward one another; push them toward and from one another several times—­see each other, Fig. 314; then hold the flat right hand in front of the breast, pointing forward, palm to the left, and throw it over on its back toward the right—­not, no more.
