Then use your fine mind to generalize. Never mind, for the moment, that one finger may mean something different in Swaziland. Do you know of any casual hand gesture, motion, symbol or signal used by humans on earth to signify such a sentiment as "Sorry your friend died"?

Depending on where you are:
-Patting a person on the shoulder or back of the shoulder.
-Placing the palm of your hand on the back of theirs, or patting it.
-A hug.

I confess I wasn't thinking about intimate physical contact as a gesture.

Umm - those are not *intimte* physical contacts.

Okay, physical contact then. I don't want to spend the next three days on "intimate." I guess I'm not as touchy-feely as a lot of folks.
