gotol v To tie together as with the rattan ties of a bamboo floor or of a bogias fish trap. Balagon ka iggotol to so-og no manalingboka ka ighikot to bulu. Rattan is used to tie the flooring together and and single strands are used to tie the bamboo [slats]. [The tying process of gotol differs from gopot in that the ties of flooring are wrapped in loops around the bamboo slats whereas in the gopot process, a hole is made and the ties go through the holes. The design and manner of reinforcement is also different in the two processes.] see: gu-os 1; gen: hikot 2; gen: banggut.
