Title A name given to the resource Sub-Corpus (Inuit IGLULIK) String Figures General presentation of the string figure This string figure represents two brown bears (ak&aak, AK&ARJUUK) that are linked through a line caught between their legs or possibly one running from their anus (INARLUKSIMAJUUK). The two patterns representing the brown bears with their backs turned to each other are said to be similar. In the 'Iglulik area' as a whole (and among Amitturmiut and Mittimatalingmiut in particular), this figure is also interpreted as depicting two dogs (or big dog pups, QIMMIARALLAAK ?) with a line between their legs.

Mathematical concepts involved Bilateral symmetry. Scientific name of the represented oject/being Ursus arctos. Construction method (ISFA) 1. Position 1. 2. R1 hooks up L palmar string. 3. Proximally insert L1 into R1 (distal) loop and extend. 4. R2 picks up L palmar string and L2 picks up R palmar string (as in Opening A). 5. Proximally transfer 2 loop(s) to 1. Distally transfer 5 loop(s) to 2. 6. Insert 5 proximally into double proximal 1 loop. 5 pass behind distal 1 loop and hook down 2n. 7. Index Twist [2 hook up double proximal 1 loop while releasing 2 loop] and Navajo 1. 8. R Katilluik [= proximally insert R1 into L1 loop, release L1 then insert L1 into R1 double loop and extend; 1 pick up double 2n and return while moving under proximal double 1n; release 2], then proximally transfer 1 loop to 2. 9. 1 pick up the lower diagonal near strings. 10. Inuit Ending [= distally insert 2 into 1 loop, 2 pick up 1n, release 1, transfer double distal 2 loop to 1, and release 2] and extend. [= Starting at 4, proceed as in making the "two brown bears", AK&ARJUUK] Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
