      Bea vaave gunaha, eara na taneo maara teo vatetekoio, ore gunaha maa beara hogo bata ni naora a ta atovo paana ta meha.

      When fixing the thatch downwards, we start at the ridgepole and then it goes down when we shove one sheet of sago palm thatch underneath the other.

    • Example 9119:
      

      Eara repaa vaobete mana nao o kavuaka toon no vatetekoio, ei to paa pam taono vuru bona maa varuvaru.

      Then we eventually put the top thatch sheet onto the upper ridge pole that we had already tied on top of the rafters (i.e. where the rafters meet and are stuck together)
