The body text says treated feather material can be spun and woven like cotton. These explicit verbs support the edition’s interpretation of the unusual marginal natiles as “spinnable,” without claiming that natiles is a normal Latin word for that process. The craft verbs are consequently more secure lexical evidence than an unqualified dictionary normalization of the margin.
