Midrib of a palm leaf; strips of the midrib (used as rope).
It is called paka when it is still attached to the tree. When it falls down it is peyipa'. The top part of the midrib or a strip of it is sometimes cut off and used as rope.
The midrib of that coconut (leaf) is big.
When you climb a coconut tree, don’t hold on to the midribs; they may come off.
Fetch me a strip of coconut leaf midrib for tying the sack.
