They split and go in opposite directions. (Tapvaguuq ak&arjuuk maqruuk. Ungamut (...) qimaqattautiik). The two patterns representing the brown bears appear to be similar (Amma taakkua ajjigiik ak&arjuuk. Ajjigiittiak...). Construction method (ISFA) 1. Opening A. 2. Proximally transfer 2 loop to 1. Distally transfer 5 loop to 2. 3. 5 passes proximally through proximal 1 loop, behind distal 1 loop, and hooks down 2n. 4. Index Twist, and Navajo 1. 5. R Katilluik, then proximally transfer 1 loop to 2. 6. 1 pick up the lower oblical near strings. 7. Inuit Ending. Extend so that strings part in the center.
