Weaving of cloth is accomplished by lifting a heddle stick, ginulun, forming a shed, ādu; a weft thread is then drawn across the warp on a shuttle, hi'ītan, through this shed creating a plain weave. In basket weaving, a transverse strip is alternately woven under and then over single longitudinal strips, also producing a plain weave. Some baskets with this pattern are: catfish basket trap, ūbol; eel basket trap, ūdal; large sweet potato basket, balyag. Another pattern is produced by weaving the transverse strips diagonally onto the longitudinal strips in such a way that the transverse strips are spaced apart and parallel to each other and the longitudinal strips are also spaced apart and parallel with each other resulting in a loose weave with holes having the pattern of a hexagon. Baskets with this pattern include: chicken coop basket, ubi; rain basket, tudung1; rice fermenting basket, taggi'i.
For someone (agent) to use particular thread or weaving strip (inst i-, paN-) for weft thread or transverse strips respectively in weaving.
Imported cotton yarn, hamlaw, synthetic thread, hinūlid, or yarn, ittomle, or locally spun cord, linūbid, are used. Young bamboo, ānoh, būlu, atulbung reeds or rattan, uway, are split and shaved thin to be used as transverse strips.
