Title A name given to the resource Trobriand Sub-Corpus String Figures General presentation of the string figure "Kala tugebi" means "carry on the head", and "navalulu" means "woman in childbirth". This string figure's name refers explicitly to the headdress (or linen) worn by women leaving the house for the first time after giving birth to prevent evil spirits from entering their bodies and spoil the milk. This is also underlined by a particular operational gesture within the string figure-making process: the first step of the procedure "kalatu gebi navalulu" consists in making a small loop which is gripped between the teeth; the rest of the string is then placed over the head as the headdress should be. Construction method (ISFA) 1. Opening M4 2. Transfer wrist loops to 1. 3. Proximally, insert 1 into 5 loops, pick up 5n and return. 4. Caroline extension. Opening M4: - Make a small loop and hold between the teeth. - Insert H away from you into the long hanging loop. - Rotate H in passing distal to ulnar H string and proximal to radial H string. - Insert 5 away from you into the small loop held by the teeth. Release the teeth and extend. Construction method (symbolic writing) $\underline{O}.M_{4}:TF (w\infty, 1):\underline{i}1(5\infty):p1(5n):\underline{E}.C\mid$ Heart-sequence $\underline{O}.M_{4}: w\infty\rightarrow 1: \overleftarrow{5\infty}\downarrow(1\infty): \underrightarrow{1\infty}\uparrow(5\infty):ext$ Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
