Description

(meaning: drinking out of palm of hand)

Hold the cupped right hand, back down, in front of and little above mouth; fingers pointing to left and upwards; then move hand downwards, turning palm towards mouth.


References: drink, lake, river

Notes

At end of RIVER or LAKE some indians make the sign of dipping a handful of water with right cupped hand, held waist high.

The difference between this sign and drink seems to be the direction that the hand is pointed in.
