The lines that run through the work are known as orriseege or pathways and provide a compositional framework for the design. The fine repetitious stripes within the orriseege is burejihano'e, a design which was originally inspired from a naturally occuring pattern found on the dried pandanus leaves of traditional mats. This pattern is thought to be created by an insect and is much admired. The diamond design is siha'e, the fruit of the tree, and within the diamonds is the design vavore deje, the back of the bush rope. Siha'e is framed by the chevron design visuano'e, the teeth of the fish. The zig-zagging triangular designs are buboriano'e, the beaks of Blyth's Hornbill (Rhyticeros plicatus). Hornbills are the largest flying birds that can be found in the Omie mountains. In the time of the ancestors their huge conical bills and casques were prized objects. Several beaks would be used to create a mans daramoi (headband) which were worn during ceremonies and rituals.
