A different Pamor which is not folded but pasted

Alan, I think we got stuck again. In my #12 I attached a picture of this blade (of course I am speaking about the blade of Hugh), where pamor lines run diagonally across the odo-odo, a feature, which would be compatible with pamor made of twisted bar. In #21 there is a picture, where pamor lines cross the odo-odo just above the poyuhan, and are those of a twisted bar. Those lines are not compatible with pamor mlumah, even manipulated.
