Hello David, hello Bjorn,

Quote:

Pat, i believe Bjorn has already IDed your pamor. I would agree with his wos wutah assessment.

In the same vein as Alan's comment in the other thread, there does seem to be an inflation of subclassifications of wos wutah (and other common pamor types). Considering the number of "islands" along the ada-ada, one might fancy mlinjon or so...

Given the coarse pamor and assuming that the broad lines are single layers, wouldn't be kulit semangka be a better fit? (It might easily be argued though that there is a continuum between wos wutah and kulit semangka, I guess?)

Regards,
Kai

Yes Kai, this is so.

Wos Wutah (beras wutah) is simply a random mlumah pamor, the same as ngulit semangka, but ngulit semangka uses thicker and less contrasting material. Personally I'd call this one ww.

All the sub classifications of ww seem to have blossomed out of nowhere, but some have been generated by material manipulation along the way, others by surface manipulation, others by natural erosion. In real life I very seldom hear anything but ww and ns.
