OK, now I promise this is the last email on this subject. My belief: Nät = operational stationary net with netting material, small floats along the top and sinkers along the bottom, etc. (using some of Bo's words). Not = operational drawn seine net with netting and appropriate other gear. Slinga = one section of specified netting material without accessories. Bo, I hope you are comfortable with this. It seems to fit with the BP Im working on (Anders Andersson 1793). Thank you for your help. Aloha, Pono Norman A.
