kaross

Women were there, too, watching for the signal, which was to be the waving of a kaross by a chief.

"They take one arm out of the kaross, thereby exposing one shoulder blade to the sun" (Editors).

Then I hunted about in Wambe's hut, and found a kaross to put over his poor bruised shoulders, and he was quite a man again.

The kaross now hung down the stem, in a spread position, the transverse stick keeping it extended to its full width.
