Wonder
The body is raised as in hope the arms are not only stretched towards the shoulders and drawn back but the fingers are extended: the forhead is (explicatun) smoothed (expanded)
by the contraction of the Frontal muscle: the mouth the nostrils and the eyes are opened wide: the pupil of the eye expands: The Bogesmani when astonished put their right hand to their necks and bend their heads towards their backs.
