Sixth: Pass each little finger toward you over the near ring finger string and the far index string, pick up from below on the back of the little finger the near index string (Fig. 476), and return the little finger to its position. Release the loops from the thumbs; separate the little fingers widely from the other fingers (Fig. 477). When the hands are held in their usual position the "M" appears; when held with the fingers pointing away from you a W appears.
