Title A name given to the resource Sub-Corpus (Inuit IGLULIK) String Figures General presentation of the string figure This figure represents two arms (taliik) with two shoulder blades (kiasiik). It was recorded with a similar meaning (arms or flippers) in many Inuit and Yupiit groups, in Alaska, Canada and Greenland. A variation of that figure known in the Iglulik area (as well as in South Baffin at least) consists in the representation of one arm on one side and a brown bear on the other ("talirjuk amma ak&arjuk", the arm and the brown bear). Closely related references (literature) "Moguk - the arms" (Nunivak, Alaska), a figure then transformed into "eruk - the legs", Gordon 1906: 89-90. "Täliγγoq - he holds his arms up" (Barrow and Inland/Nunamiut, Inupiat), "täliγyoq" (Mackenzie delta and Coronation gulf), Jenness 1924: 41-42, XXXI, fig. 40. See Wirt & al. 2009: 289-290 for an illustration of this method. "The arms" (Qairnirmiut/Caribou), Birket-Smith 1929, I, fig. 106e.

Opening A. 2. 1 passes over 2 loop, picks up 5n and returns. 3. 3 passes over 2 loop, picks up lower 1f and returns. 4. Release 1 loops. Proximally (= from below) transfer 2 loop to 1, then 3 loop to 1. Maintain loop order. 5. Distally (=from above) transfer 5 loop to 2. 5 hooks down 2n through both 1 loops, closing to the palm. 6. Proximally insert 3 into 2 loop. 3 passes under upper 1n and removes it from 1 while 2 presses that string against 3 and hooks it up through 2 loop, rotating away from the body and up = Index Twist with upper 1n. 7. R Katilluik (1 loops). 8. Adjust the figure so that the two arms get apart. The two arms are represented by the double string running on each side (of the center) between the two transverse strings, while the approximate triangles close to 1 loop on each side of the upper part of the figure depict the shoulder blades.
