Title A name given to the resource Trobriand Sub-Corpus String Figures General presentation of the string figure The string figure procedure "guyau - bolu - guyavila" refers to an important prescription. guyau means "chief", guyavila is the wife of the chief, and bolu is a bowl or cup. As pointed out by the chief of Oluvilei (Tolobuwa), every chief on the Trobriands owns a bowl, that he only can use, while his wife is the only one allowed to pour water or soup into it. According to Tolobuwa, this is this rule which is underlined – and thus called to memory – in the string figure called guyau - bolu - guyavila. Construction method (ISFA) 1. Opening M4 2. Distally, insert 4 into 5 loops, pick up 5f and return to position. Release 5 loops. 3. Distally, insert 5 into 4 loops. Pass 5 proximal to all intermediate strings towards you, pick up 1n and return to position. Release 1. 4. Distally, insert 1 into 2 loops. Pass 1 proximal to all strings away from you, pick up 5f and return to position. 5. Pass 5 towards you distal to 4 and 3 loops, and 2f, pick up 2n at the center of the figure and return to position. Navaho 5. 6. L1 and L2 grasp both R5n and R1f. Release right hand. Proximally, insert R5 into the former R1 loop and R1 into the former R1 and R5 loops. 7. Repeat on the left hand. Extend and untie the strings. 8. Caroline extension. Opening M4: - Make a small loop as for Opening M. Transfer the small loop to a great toe. Take up the long loop into Position I. - R2 picks up the left palmar string and return. - Distally, insert L2 into R2 loop, pick up the right palmar string and return. - Release 1. - Release toe loop. Extend. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/.
