seago

seago
(soga [sóga] < Late Latin sócam 'rope,' possibly of pre-Roman origin)
   A rope, especially a rope of loosely twisted hemp used for roping animals. Santamaría glosses it as a term used in Tabasco, Mexico, for a rope made from rawhide that is tanned and rubbed with wax and then twisted into a perfectly cylindrical shape. It is generally used for roping cattle and in other cowboy operations. This type of rope often exceeds eighty feet in length. The term is also used along the southern coast of Mexico to refer to a rope made from three braided strands.
