To my understanding of the word "fist", not quite. A fist is a bunched hand, not an open one. A Weejun "neve" does not imply that it is bunched. It may be open or bunched - in the latter case, a "knyttneve". I may extend my "neve" to you in friendly greeting, but if I extend my fist to you, the greeting won't be so polite.
David FloodA fist is a hand that is bunched, not open. A neve may be open or bunched. I may extend my open neve to you in polite greeting for a clasping of hands. If I extend my fist to you, it may be considered an affront or a challenge.
