Name of the paddle used in pottery making in Koho language (Krăngọ village)

Ma Ly says the name of the name of the wooden paddle used to to even out the surface of the pot and shape the round of the bottom. It can be made from any type of wood, but the best is pine wood because it is light. The potter knows how to make the paddle herself, however she says that she makes them ugly (which does not impact the efficiency of the tool. Only the visuals.). It is usually Ma Liy’s sons who make the tools for her. She can also use a random plank of wood made even if needed.

玛莉（Ma Ly）介绍了一款用于整平陶坯表面、修整底部圆弧的木拍（wooden paddle）的相关名称。该工具可采用任意品类的木材制作，其中松木因质地轻盈而属最优选材。这位制陶工匠本人即可自制该木拍，但她坦言自己制作的成品外观欠佳——这并不影响工具的使用效率，仅关乎视觉表现。通常由玛莉的儿子们为其制作这类工具，若有需要，她也可使用经平整处理的任意木料来制作该工具。
