Also called: yavamala · garland of barley-grains · chained line

Where on the hand: Along the length of any line; auspicious on the thumb, weakening elsewhere.

What it looks like: A row of three or more small closed ovals running in a chain along one line, like a string of beads — each oval formed where the line splits into two strands and rejoins, then splits again.

Named as the 'garland of barley-grains.' Read as auspicious on the thumb, where it multiplies the yav's meanings of progeny, inheritance and learning; read as a chained — that is, weakened — line anywhere else.
