aghueli = Two Coyotes Running Apart.

First, Second and Third movements are the same as the First, Second and Third movements of "Many Stars."

Fourth: Pass each thumb from below into the index loop, and bend it over the far index string; turning the palm away from you, pass the thumb away from you under all the strings, and catch the far little finger string on the far side with the back of the thumb (Fig. 123, Left

Fig. 123. Righthand), and return the thumb to its position (Fig. i23, Right hand). Release the loops from the little fingers.

Fifth: Put the tips of the right thumb and index together and put the tips of the left thumb and index together; now, turning the palms slightly away from you, pass these fingers over the thumb and index loops and away from you under and past the two strings of the middle finger loop. Then drawing the thumb and index (still held together) toward you, take up on their tips the far middle finger string and draw it toward you under the near middle finger string. Let the twisted loop slip off each middle finger

and withdraw the thumb, leaving the loop well up toward the  tip of the index (Fig. 124). 

Sixth: Keeping all the loops carefully on the left hand, with the left thumb and index lift the right lower index loop over the right upper index loop, and entirely off the finger (Fig. 125), and let it drop on the palmar side, being careful not to take off also the upper loop. In the same manner with the right thumb and index lift the left lower index loop over the left upper index loop, and entirely off the index (Fig. 126). Do not pull the strings tight after this movement.
