pumbayātan
(from bāyat + puɴ-an)
A warping harness, for winding, bāyat, warp threads, ta'dog 2, the proper length onto a loom, pa'ātan, and keeping them in proper sequence for weaving.
It is constructed in the same place and position as the strung loom. A warp beam, hapayan, is tied at either end by cords to some suitable anchor, such as a horizontal bar tied to the foundation posts of a house about 1« m. above ground level. Four guide cords are tied two at either end of the back warp stick and are strung out horizontally and tied at the other end to each end of one half of the waist template, ipītan. They measure out the desired length of the warp. One person puts on a weaver's belt, gawelan, and fastens it to the waist template. A second person lays a beater stick, balīga; a heddle stick, ginulun; a leash stick, tubungan, and a warp spacing stick, leneppot, in position across the harness between the two cords at either side, which are twisted, holding them in place. The hand loom, thus positioned, is ready to be strung with warp threads.
