two fingers point at eyes, = scout.

two fingers up = two ppl

one finger up (not birdie) = one person, etc etc..

point = go there or that way.

fist held up = stop now

Ive heard the birdie is given to enemies just before an ambush but i think
thats folk-law :)

Kevin - tell me how many of these I got wrong will ya?
