Figure 266.—Fanga uli trap, end finish.

The twined row (7) is the last row of the funnel while the row (6) is now the last independent row of the body. The body warps on the left are cut out to show the funnel row and the same is done with the funnel warp (5') on the right. The two twined rows overlap. The warps of the funnel and the body which are the same in number are pressed close together in pairs as shown. The body weft now continues on its spiral around and includes each pair in the one half turn of the weft twine as in the row (8). This bringing together of the warps is termed ao. The weft twine is continued on for four complete rounds (8 to 11) made as close together as possible. On completing the last round (11) one weft element is cut off and its end tucked behind one of the warps. The other element makes a last round (12) by itself, passing alternately in front and behind the warp to end by being cut off and the end tucked away under a turn of the weft. The ends of the funnel wefts are also cut off and tucked behind warps.
