Note

Also Casiguran Dumagat púkut ‘type of fishnet (two hundred meters long by seven meters high, it is the largest of all nets ... This net is strung out along the shore, and then fifty to one hundred men drag it towards the shore. The fish are caught in the half circle. Used in the daytime’, ma-múkut ‘to fish with a pukut net’ (< Tagalog?), Ngaju Dayak pukat ‘a net’ (< Banjarese Malay), Manggarai pukak ‘fishnet’.

This was clearly one of the more important types of nets used in fishing activities by speakers of PMP and their descendants. The *puket was a long rectangular net that could be dragged between boats in coastal marine fishing, or placed across rivers to catch fish swimming upstream. In more interior areas it was used for catching birds on the fly, or for entangling mammals such as wild pigs that were driven into it in communal hunts.
