Title A name given to the resource Sub-Corpus (Inuit IGLULIK) String Figures General presentation of the string figure In the Iglulik area, this string figure depicts a snow shovel, PUAQRISI or PUAQRIJAUTI. It results from the transformation of the figure of the tent, TUPIRJUK. The figure of the snow shovel was recorded in many different Inuit groups, either with this meaning (in the Canadian Arctic or central regions of the Inuit continuum), or under a name referring to the launching of a bird spear or to a throwing stick (in Alaska and in Greenland). Construction method (ISFA) Make the tent, TUPIRJUK. (= 1. Position 1. 2. R2 passes over L palmar string and hooks it up, rotating away from the body and up then towards the body and up, two to four times. Extend to the right. 3. L2 enters R2 loop from above and picks up the R palmar string, returning then through R2 loop. Extend. 4. Release R1 and R5 loops, and extend while turning hands so that the palm of the LH faces upward and the palm of the RH faces downward. This is the tent). Then: 5. Release R2 loop. R2 removes L2 loop from L2, by seizing L2n and pulling it to the right. Insert R345, from the far side, into R2 loop while extending. The sliding loop (with a triangular shape) is the snow shovel, PUAQRISI.
