Rope — rasmdn, razmdn, rlsmdn, rassan.

 strong ropes as vegetable fibres, are on the whole much more 

 suitable in this climate for tying on loads to animals. The 

 Turkomans manufacture rope from the fibres of Apocynum 

 VENETUM, Cannabis SATiVA,and Erianthus Ravenna. Where 

 we would employ twine for tying up small bundles, and other 

 such small requirements, the people of these parts employ 

 the root bark of several species of Astragalus for the 

 purposes required, as also the bark from the annual shoots 

 of the Elm, Ulmus species.
