on _i_ (_gegebe_)

(_l_) Thatch made of leaves (_asase_).

_Note._--The roof (excluding the hood) projects forward and overhangs

not the whole, of the platform; the hood (not shown in this figure)
is really intended to shelter the platform.

(_kautape_).

_Note._--_t_(1)goes right across under door-opening, but the middle
portion of it is omitted from the diagram, and the lower edges
of timbers _t_ (2) are partly broken off, so as to show floor and
fireplace.

(_u_) Wall timbers above top of door-opening (_dibindi_).

Fig. 5 is a diagram of a transverse section across the centre of an
_emone_, showing the internal construction. The explanatory note only
deals with portions not explained in those to Fig. 4.

_Explanatory Note to Fig._ 5.

Post _a_ is the main central support of the building corresponding
with post _a_ in Fig. 4. Posts _b b_ are central side supports to
the roof. Poles _c_ and _d_ are attached to posts _a b b_, and help
to strengthen the fabric. These poles are also used for hanging up
sleeping hammocks, the other extremities of which are hung to the
_loko-loko_ of the roof (Fig. 4, _f_). The name for post _a_ is _dudu_,
but this word is often used to express the whole structure _a b b c d_.
