Usage notes

edit
  • According to English (1987),[1] uway is used for chairs and beds, yantok for binding nipa roofing or tying bamboo scaffolding, and palasan is a thick type of rattan. However, these distinctions may not be applicable everywhere, as in some places, yantok is the plant, uway are rattan strips, and palasan are rattan sticks not made to strips but usually intended to make cane and cane furniture.
