Inside the arc, to stiffen it, was placed a piece of coir. The six arches com- plete (probably in separate pieces), the pillars were joined by running fine double cords alternately through the small loops of the opposing sides. Then a row of twelve long pun was attached, one pun to the base of each of the original pillars, and joined together in pairs by a row of six short puu. The basal cords, the arches and pillars having been included in the long and short puu, were incor- porated with other loose ends in a piko roughly made after the style of Piko N. To the outer edge was add- ed a row of Hanai D, which made it ready for the kakai. Kakai.—The strings of the kakai were gathered together at the pu by two methods.
