Question about skills when creating the characters

I am not entirely sure of what your starting skills are.
Say you have WS4, BS2, S4 and T4. Do you use those to derive your Melee 4, Defence 4, Shooting 2, Throwing 2, Brawn 4, Toil 4, Survival 4, Endurance 4.

Or do you as you say in page 22 and 23, have a starting Skills Rating of 2 for Dwarves, and then you can raise Melee, Toil, Endurance and Willpower to 3.

Not very clear.

Second paragraph is correct. All characteristics and skills start at 2. All stats are increased as you progress through character creation.

I also ran into the same issue, but the kind folks on Discord helped me.
