Title A name given to the resource Sub-Corpus (Inuit IGLULIK) String Figures General presentation of the string figure This string figure depicts an oil lamp (qulliq) with its flames, which falls off (its raised position): ijukkaqpuq (ijukkatsaqpuq). Once the figure of the lamp with fire is formed, it is seized and pulled with the mouth in its upper middle part (qitinga) in such a way to represent the lamp falling (up to the dissolution of the figure). This figure was collected among several Inuit societies of the Central and Eastern Canadian Arctic (under a name that refers to the fact of falling off, or to a fire). A similar figure was also documented in Alaska and in the Western Canadian Arctic (Inupiat, Inuvialuit and Inuinnait), but with a different method of making, and a different name: it refers there to 'mountains' (Jenness 1924: 149, CXXX). Construction method (ISFA) 1. Position I. R2 hooks up L palmar string and returns, while L2 picks up L5n. Extend, release 5 loop. (= Opening B). 2. Proximally insert 345 into 2 loop, 2345 hook down 2n (to the palm). 3. Proximally insert 2 into 1 loop, 2 hooks up 1n (and returns away from the body and up). 4. (Palms facing away) 1 picks up 5f and returns moving under 5n. Release 5 loop. 5. 5 hooks down (to the palm) the oblical string that runs across 1 loop on the far side of the figure. 6. Inuit Ending (= proximally insert 1 into 2 loop, Navajo 1 and release 2 loop). You have formed the oil lamp (qulliq) with its flames. 7. Grab with your mouth the upper TV string in its middle (= in the middle of the figure) and pull slightly while 5 gets down (and 1 is removed): the oil lamp falls off (its raised position), ijukkartuq.
