Foreign koko; black woolen braid; knot, Fig. 150; length 20, mesh T47 Aha.—Of the alia'*^ or cords snrrounding and permanently fastened to gonrd water bottles (hnewai, olowai, etc.) the most common was that known as hawele— sometimes referred to as koko hawele—and shown in F'ig. 106 enclosing a hnewai. There is in the collection a great nnniber of drinking and other gonrd vessels withont cordings wdiicli wonld liave been carried in koko pnnpnn or pnaln. The hnewai was a drinking gonrd of large body and narrow neck for general nse. The variety of forms of gonrd vessels was very great, and was generally the resnlt of manip- nlation when the frnit was green. The word hawele means a tying or binding on in which the joinings or loops are never knotted, and the koko or aha hawele may be so recognized. Details of technique of the aha hawele in Fig. 106 will be seen in Fig. 154, Avhere, after a loop, /; m c, is made round the neck of the bottle and tied at a^ the cording continues in the direction indicated. There is a slight error, for which the writer is re- sponsible, in the drawing, for the cord /J instead of encircling /; and e^ should pass under and over a and d and under itself. A bail is then made by carrying^ over the top of the bottle, over ;;/, under //, over n and back around a and d. When there are four or five thicknesses of cord in the bail, it is bound at several points with half hitches by the end of .^^ the latter being finally fastened to the wooden or shell stopper. The material used was coir, spun or braided—seldom olona or ban. A similar lashing, but more complex, was noticed on a gourd water bottle, No. 1931, from New Caledonia.
