the 3 types of basket for the 3 armadillo species

p. 102 -gai ‘basket’	*its weave (depicted on p. 101)*
jebo-gai of "lazy ... woman" ["her basket turned into a giant armadillo" (p. 103)]	hexagonal
ibi-gai {is this the basket for the spurred armadillo?}	in side-view pentagonal; but in bottom-view mostly square
n~eni-gai [‘small-armadillo basket’ (p. 270, n. 3A:4)]	pentagonal throughout?

p. 92 n~enig`o ‘proper armadillo’; na`konig`o ‘spurred armadillo’

p. 264 Priodontes maximus = giant armadillo (bainaag`o)

p. 265 Dasypus kappleri = spurred armadillo; Dasypus novemcinctus = small armadillo

[labels "pentagonal" and "hexagonal" are applied to depictions of basket-weaves on p. 270]

{would the distinction between pentagonal and hexagonal basket-weaves be related to a distinction between 5-pointed stars (depicted on ceilings of tomb-chambers within Kemetian pyramids) and 6-pointed stars (Sumerian "dingir" asterisk)?

and would a square-weave indicate a 4-pointed star (suggested by the figurative use in Samskr.ta of the word /tara/, literally ‘cross’, for ‘star’)?

[and what about the 3-pointed star (though not repraesented by this weaving)? – /s.in/ (/hsing/) ‘star’, "the oldest writing of this character has three" (Wilder & Ingram : An Analysis of Chinese Characters. p. 143, # 422)]}

p. 270, n. 3A:8 male thunders, female thunders

"There are male and female thunders. A male thunder happens in a single burst or explosion : "huuuu zeeche!", whereas

the female thunder is rolling and prolonged : "tiiii-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri." If the latter happens in an eastern direction, this is the giant armadillo’s thunder – she is making that big, heavy earthenware pot slowly turn around."

conjuring of eyen

p. 237 "the boys, in order to catch fish, conjure their eyes with hawks’ magic"
