Threads that form the heddle (in the weaving loom); threads to pre-program the design in weaving.
There are three kinds of tabid. Two kinds run over sticks and form the heddle in the weaving called bunga sama. The upper one is lifted to bring the upper threads up. A piece of bamboo, the shed roll gūngen, is then inserted to keep them apart. The lower tabid is lifted to bring the lower threads up. The pattern for the weaving is counted out for each row and marked by the third kind of tabid. Each row of tabid is then bundled into two or three bundles. When the thicker thread sulip is going to be put in, the gūngen is removed, each row of the third kind of tabid is lifted in turn and a small batten beyre is inserted to ‘stand up’ the threads of the weft for the pattern. Each of the three kinds of tabid are lifted respectively when either the woof or the pattern are put in.
