24 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. vol. xxxv. 



Hurdle. — A very coarse form of basket work in brush and cane 

 fences, on land or in water, for hunting or fishing. 



Impacted. — Driven close together. Not common in Abbott baskets. 



Inset. — A structural part made separately and set into the struc- 

 ture. The funnels of fish traps and the ends of cylindrical baskets are 

 so treated. 



Interlacing. — The crossing and twining of parts. 



Interrupted, coil. — Work in which the active split is wrapped about 

 the passive part for a space and then caught under the foundation 

 below. Decorative figures are made in this manner. (See fig. 26.) 



Interstices. — Open spaces left in basketwork. 



Inweave. — To weave a pattern into the texture of a basket, to inter- 

 weave, intertwine. Ends are bent down and inwoven. 



Jernung. — Red stain resembling lacquer, applied to Dyak baskets, 

 sword-sheaths, blowgun-dart cases, etc., in West Borneo. It is made 

 by boiling the fruit of a small species of rattan and smearing the 

 jelly on the surface, where it dries with a smooth finish. 



Joinerwork. — That portion of basketwork which deals with solid 

 wood and is done with tools. Usually wrought by men. It includes 

 making hoops, uprights, solid rims, covers, staying, and bracing. 

 Miters, kerfs, carving, and whittling demand the joiner's skill. The 

 American craftswoman gives strength and rigidity to her texture in 

 the weaving ; but here lightness is most desirable and strength comes 

 through wise joinerwork. In making joints with his somewhat in- 

 tractable materials and most primitive tools the artisan is not able 

 to conceal his work and leaves ugly gaps. To remedy this is the 

 motive of much ingenious knotwork and braidwork. (See Plates I. 

 II, III, V, VI, VII, VIII, XIV.) 



Kdbun palm. — The wine palm of the coast. The black, hairlike 

 fiber, " ejoo," is used for string on Banka Islands. 



Kain. — Cloth passed around the loins and between the legs. Worn 

 by Indonesians of Malaysia and Malays. 



Kajang. — Pandanus roof-mat. Every Malay boat and every Chi- 

 nese sampan uses them. One of the most widely spread and useful 

 things in Malaysia. 



Kawin. — Rotan kawin. A small, very flexible rattan, growing in 

 the hills of West Borneo, of which one of the weaves in the trident 

 spear heads, serapang, is done. 



Kerf. — A notch cut out of rattan or other stem so as to permit 

 it to bend at an angle. In footing on burden baskets, the corners, 

 made of rattan stem, have kerfed miters. The material is then bent 

 to form triangles, rectangles, or polygons. 



Keyed lattice. — Latticework in which the crossed passive parts 

 are held in place by bending in and out between them stiff strips.
