      The turtle net is made of the bark of the young breadfruit tree. As for its size, it is the biggest and longest of all nets in the Teop area. Only the turtle can be caught in the net because the meshes of the net are very big.

    • Example 3186:
      

      Eara na paku rara a kave goroto bona kara no baneo, ei beara kahu ee, are paa varoavae, be raka, are paa hihie, are paa varoavae. Be raka, are paa gono a sui, are paa hupihupi ee.

      We make the turtle net from the fibres of the breadfruit tree, this means, when we scrape off the bark and dry the trunk of the young breadfruit tree in the sun, and when it is dry, we remove the fibres, then we dry them in the sun, and when they are dry, we get the shell of the ark shellfish and comb them.
