Diagrammatic Sketch of Apse-like Projection of Roof of Emone and Platform Arrangements.
(i) Platform (purume).
Note.—It will be seen that the front apopo passes through the platform.
(k) Additional supports to the apse roof, which are sometimes added, but are not usual. Their lower ends rest on the platform and they are connected with the apse roof at its outer edge (Mafulu name unknown).
(l) A stump by which to get on to the platform. This is often a rough sloping piece of tree-trunk; where the platform of the emone is high it is a rudely constructed ladder (gigide).
Note.—The entire façade of the front gable end is called konimbe (which means door) or purume (which means platform). That of the back gable end is called apei.
