Maltz isn't on Facebook, but I talked with him about it.

He said he does not knit and, in fact, wasn't quite sure what knitting was. I explained. He said there is a word perhaps best translated as "weave” and that he has heard of using sticks when doing a certain kind of weaving, but he didn't know a name for that other than weaving. (There are apparently other types of weaving also.)

The word for "weave" (verb) is nIq.

For the sticks used when doing whatever this weaving technique is, he's only heard Hut'Inmey tIq.
