Note 201 — CONTENTS. (continued 4)
Reading edition
The main thing in the construction of a house is to use one kind of wood, that is, one kind of wood for posts, and one kind for battens. The cords are the i-e (Freycinetia arnotti), kowali201 and the huehue (cocculus). This i-e and the kowali are prepared by cooking them in the imu, then soaking them in the water until the skin peels off, when they are ready for use; and the huehue, by simply placing it in the sun until half dry.
