Long Form 3 Question

We are standing in a pseudo training horse stance, our hands showing the thumb peel at our hips, rather than fists. This is where the question begins.
We close to the weak side ... drawing our right foot toward our left foot, ending with our feet together. Our hands, palm facing 12 O'clock, at our hips, are drawn up and in, to a palm facing 6 O'clock, left inside right, left hand cupped inside right, elbows tucked in, hands just below chin level.
I am curious about the hand move at this point in the form.
Why do we show the 'palm-in-palm' shape?
We repeat it a second time, as an opposite, when we work through the foot switch.
I understand that this is a good starting point for Parting Wings, but American Kenpo, as I understand it, works from the 'Point of Origin'. This is not a point of origin.
Any thoughts?
Mike
