The national rug pattern of the Mode, (Old Modehitchu: níngibíriri [nẽ́kẽʔĩ́ɾ̃ĩɾ̃ẽ] it who symbolises us, 3Third person (person)
neither speaker nor addressee.SUBSubject (argument).1First person (person)
speaker, signer, etc; I.OBJObject (argument).NPSTNon-past (tense)
present, continuous and future.symbolise), is the rug used by the Mode minority in eastern Hardax as a symbol of national heritage. Although the details are small and hard to sew on the left, managing to sew a complete Ningibiriri is often used as one of many Mode symbols of maturity, usually achieved after learning to read and write
Odera and learning to sail, and before successfully hunting down one's first wildebeest. It can be used as a banner, hanging with the "fly" facing upwards and the "hoist" towards the floor and always on a wall facing west, towards Hevin Odara, the capital of Hardax. As a rug, the left side should always be pointed towards the top of the hill if the house is on a slope and shall never be stepped on. Alternatively, if the house is on a flat area, it shall be facing westwards, towards Hevin Odara. When stored it shall be rolled together, with the "hoist" in the middle of the roll, and shall be stored somewhere high. Orienting the rug any other way is a sign of separatism, while stepping or putting one's unwashed hands or back on the hoist pattern is one of the most taboo things one can do, signifying disrespect towards the Mode people.
The text in the middle: DUQAME RA is a common Mode misspelling of "duqami ra" (modern modehitchu: [tʔoa̯w la]), literally meaning "I shine you, [you] woof" in Modehitchu. As a motto, it symbolises the cycling of wealth which will take place in the far future, when Moderan becomes a harmonic, fair society. The hard-working, honest poor (dog) will be awarded with wealth, at the expense of the rich who do not work to earn their resources, making more poor people, who can then work their way up again, restarting the cycle. ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
