baki' n English Outside strip from the anibong tree. Cultural Note The tree is first chopped down, then stripped of the long thorns covering its trunk. It is then split into six, seven or eight pieces depending on the size of the tree. Then the soft fibrous material inside is scraped off, leaving the hard baki' maybe two inches wide and half an inch thick. It is very hard, yet pliable. It was used to make bows in the past, but now is often used for floor slats, roof slats on which to lay bamboo shingles, or to attach woven bamboo walls to the framework of the house. v Affixes mag-, m-, -en, i-, -an English To make baki' as described above.
