PUNISH: Left hand as if grasping the culprit by the collar, and right hand strikes the culprit with the right index used as a rod.

For the PRESENT, same as “now,” i.e., Hold the open or bent hands, in front, from the sides, palms up, and drop them both at the same time with a slight jerking motion. NOW, PRESENT: Place the open hands pointing outward, palms up, in front, about the waist line; drop them a little rather quickly.In making the sign for any verb the tense is rarely given unless essential to make it specific. Usually the tense is understood by inference.

PEACE: Clasp hands (shake hands with yourself), then turn them over and repeat in opposite direction; then bring hands away from each other, palms down, as if stroking something on either side in opposite directions.
