The finger and thumb encircle the ankle. (_Long_.)

Pass the right hand, bent spoon-fashion, from the heel to the little

toe of the right foot. (_Burton_.)

The palmar surfaces of the extended fore and second fingers of the

right hand (others closed) are rubbed along the leg just above the

ankle. This would not seem to be clear, but these Indians do not make

any sign indicating _black_ in connection with the above. The sign

does not, however, interfere with any other sign as made by the Sioux.

(_Creel_; _Dakota_ I.) "Black feet."

Pass the flat hand over the outer edge of the right foot from the heel

to beyond the toe, as if brushing off dust. (_Dakota_ V, VII, VIII.)
