Coir, английский
- Cordage made from the fibrous husks of the cocoa-nut; though cables made of it are disagreeable to handle and coil away, they have the advantage of floating in water, so that vessels ride easily by them; they are still used by the calcutta pilot-brigs. true coir is from the borassus gomutus, the long fibrous black cloth-like covering of the stem. it is from this that the black cables in the east are made; the cocoa-nut fibre being of a reddish hue. it is used for strong brushes, being cylindrical and smooth, with a natural gloss.
- Fiber made from coconut husk, used to make buoyant matting and low-grade rope. pronounced coyer.
