It became apparent that according to the way the Ethiopian method is described above it can't produce a correct result if the first multiplicand (the one being repeatedly halved) is negative. I've addressed that in this variation. If the first multiplicand is negative then the resulting sum (which may already be positive or negative) is negated.
