It's not a grip, but the touch of the two fingers of one hand is between the touch of the two fingers of the other hand. If the hands were transparent, one could show the circle as a loop, but the closest is "something" in between, and as it is not a grip, touch is the closest thing. Showing breaking chains would need a touch between to show the position of the hands, and that is a touch before breaking. </div><div><br></div><div>Charles</div><div><br></div><div style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><br><div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Stefan Wöhrmann

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span lang="EN-GB" style="
font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;">attached you find a foto of two F-hands – some
signs need this orientation ... for years I wrote the sign with the grip symbol
with the “in between” lines to the left and right. </span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span lang="EN-GB" style="
font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;">Today I thought differently. Thumb and index touch
each other – but there is obviously no grip. – and the touch in between
seems not appropriate either. </span></font></p>
