Figure 108.—Breadfruit cover (pulou 'ulu):

a, leaflets from right side of midrib on left form dextrals through the alternating sets of which the sinistrals from left side of right midrib are successively plaited in check. There are now the leaflets on the right side of the right midrib (2) in line to act as dextrals with those already functioning as such. b, The left midrib (1) is brought around the back of the other (2) to be on the right. In this position the other leaflets will form sinistrals to continue the plaiting. The crossing of the dextral 3 will indicate the future plaiting edge to be attained to. The lower dextrals (6-10) are separated to carry on the two sets of alternates continuous with the upper ones (4-1). The nearest sinistral (10') is placed in position and the top dextral 5 turned down on it. In this way, each sinistral is added and the top dextral turned down until all have engaged and the plaiting edge commenced by turning down the weft (5) is level.
