I think the meaning truer to the intent of the game is "I own your
stick."  In physical play, the objects are arranged on the table
with proximity determining ownership.  So "my" stick would be in
front of me, and someone takes it by moving it from in front of
me to in front of them.

They don't hold it after that, because their hands need to be free
to continue signing.
