Description

Bring the extended hands, backs down, with a sweep, so as to lower them slightly into the following position: left hand in front of right breast, fingers pointing to right, right hand several inches to right of left, fingers pointing to front and right, and as hands are lowered to this position, incline the head to right. Sometimes the right hand is held nearer the head, and with those not conversant with gesture speech, the head is inclined to right and rests on right palm.


Synonyms: lie down, rest

Notes

Tomkins states the hands are 6 inches apart, where Clark just mentioned several inches.
