Positioning Continued: Single-Hand Gestures

So, the research of body positions has brought me to "Gestures".  Today's post features Single-Hand gestures, but I will likely continue my investigation with Two-Hand Gestures and Gestures Made With Other Body Parts.  Many of these basic forms or communication are rich with history (i.e. The Bellamy Salute, Fig Sign, Handshake, Knock on Wood, Thumbs Down, Scout Handshake, etc.) and various connotations.  

Inspired by this image search I stumbled upon a few random LINKS:
