Oops, I guess I just sent that to Ross instead of the group.

 My search on Google for "wattap root" gave 46 hits, which certainly confirm
its existence and general meaning of "conifer-root lacing used in bark canoe
manufacture". Usually spruce, occasionally pine, red cedar, fir.... Not
clear whether it is also usable for the root qua root or only qua lacing.
 lil*ə*nd = haluo
 PS Any progress on the Unicode Duployan font front?
