the head, lolling out the tongue, and scratching the right ear at the same time." W. Woodville Rockhill, in the Century Magazine (New York, edition of February, 1891, p. 606), says: "The drawing out of the tongue, and at the same time holding out both hands palms uppermost, is the mode of salutation near Drè-chu, in Thibet. At l'Hasa, capital of Thibet, the mode of salutation consists in one sticking out his tongue, pulling his right ear, and rubbing his left limb at the same time." |
