content: From card: "Used in making bark cloth. "The freshly removed bark of the tree called Kumyumĕ or of another called Ekĕkam, is taken and placed on a log where it is beaten with this instrument. The piece soon spreads to double its original width but does not materially lengthen. When well beaten it is washed, wrung out and dried. It is now bark cloth, called "eto", pl. "bito"."
