PANI (PAWNEE).

Imitate a wolf's ears with the two forefingers of the right hand

extended together, upright, on the left side of the head. (_Burton._)

Place a hand on each side of the forehead, with two fingers pointing

to the front to represent the narrow, sharp ears of the wolf. (_Marcy_

in _Prairie Traveler_, p. 215.)

Extend the index and second fingers of the right hand upward from the

right side of the head. (_Arapaho_ II; _Cheyenne_ V; _Dakota_ VII,

VIII; _Ponka_ II; _Pani_ I; _Comanche_ II.)

Right hand, as (N), is passed from the back part of the right side

of the head, forward seven or eight inches. (_Dakota_ I.) "The Pani

Indians are known as the _Shaved-heads_, i.e., leaving only the scalp

locks on the head."

First and second fingers of right hand, straight upward and separated,

remaining fingers and thumb closed (as in N), like the ears of a small

wolf. (_Dakota_ III.)

Place the closed right hand to the side of the temple, palm forward

leaving the index and second fingers extended and slightly separated,

pointing upward. This is ordinarily used, though, to be more explicit,

both hands may be used. (_Kaiowa_ I; _Comanche_ III; _Ute_ I; _Apache_

II; _Wichita_ II.) For illustration see Fig. 336, facing page 531.
