A multivalent approach is used, starting from linguistic-ethnographic fieldwork and engaging critically with scholarly ikat research and the anthropological methods often applied in studies of traditional textiles, including the underlying assumptions about meaning, symbolism, and mythology. The Palu’e design nomenclature is not embedded in the recorded oral literature, or vice versa. Rather than being repositories for mythology, the cloths signify transmissibility; the act of transmitting them, along with the required craftsmanship skills, from generation to generation assigns them meaning and sacrality. This accounts for the discrepancy observed with compartmentalized or linguistically-inclined inquiries. For weavers, the nomenclature serves as a mnemonic device for memorizing designs, and enables discourse about them. Cet article documente les textiles ikat coutumiers de Palu'e et examine dans quelle mesure la nomenclature des dessins et les interprétations locales constituent une iconographie. Une approche multivalente est utilisée, en partant de travaux de terrain linguistiques et ethnographiques, et en examinant de manière critique la recherche scientifique sur l'ikat et les méthodes anthropologiques souvent appliquées dans les études des textiles traditionnels, y compris les hypothèses sous-jacentes sur la signification, le symbolisme et la mythologie. La nomenclature des motifs de Palu'e ne fait pas partie de la littérature orale connue, ou vice versa. Plutôt que d'être les dépositaires de la mythologie, les vêtements signifient transmissibilité ; l'acte de les transmettre, ainsi que les compétences artisanales requises, de génération en génération, leur confèrant un sens et une sacralité. C'est ce qui explique le décalage observé dans les enquêtes compartimentées ou à orientation linguistique. Pour les tisserands, la nomenclature sert de dispositif mnémonique pour mémoriser les dessins et permet le discours qui s'y rapporte.
