This method is my own reconstruction, loosely based on [Davidson 1941]'s figure XIV ("Emu").

1. Position 1 on the right hand only.

2. Pass left index into long hanging loop from above, and turning it toward you and up, pick up near loop string.

3. Letting the strings hang somewhat loose, pass right thumb and index from above through the loop, to the right of the point where the strings cross. Then reach to the left, and grab the left far index string, to the left of the point where the strings cross. Pull it to the right and up, back through the right half of the loop, and hang it on the left thumb.
