For someone (agent muɴ-, -um-) to weave a basket (theme i-; patient -on).
Flexible material such as thin strips of bamboo, ānoh, bī'al, mangnaw or rattan, uway, are used. There are three major methods of weaving. A zigzag pattern is produced by weaving a single strand alternately over-two and under-two transverse strands. Each succeeding strand is woven so that only one of the two transverse strands is in the same position, either over or under, as those crossing the preceding contiguous strand. Typical of this weaving pattern are the following: betel nut pouch, uppig; cooked rice storage basket, hū'up; hunter's backpack, bangaw; winnowing basket, pallungan; scabbard belt, alibun; wall enclosure, da'lig. A second method consists of weaving ribs onto longitudinal strips; see bī'uh 2. A third method is to weave transverse strips over-one, under-one through longitudinal strips, to produce either a plain-weave or hexagonal pattern; see pa'an 2.
For someone (agent) to use weaving material (inst i-) for weaving, as described above.
Generally, flexible material such as thin strips of rattan, uway, or bamboo, ānoh, bī'al, mangnaw, are used. Specifically, in two weaving methods as described above, weaving ribs, bī'uh 1, or longitudinal strips, pa'an 1, are used in weaving.
For someone (agent) to use a tightening instrument for tightening a weave.
A hardwood stick traditionally was used; common also is a five-inch nail. The instrument is pounded against the weave to tighten it.
