Overshot : Of a pattern or weave : that is characterized by uninterrupted lines of weft where the yarn has been made to pass over two or more warp threads before re-entering the fabric. Any design that can be arranged on a formation of squares may be reproduced in overshot weaving... In the weaver's language, patterns produced by this system are called "overshot", because when the harnesses are raised, the weft threads skip or "float" over the groups of warp threads.  2, record 2, English, - overshot%20technique

Le cannelé est obtenu par des flottés de chaîne recouvrant une ou plusieurs duites. Les fils de chaîne du tissu étant très serrés, il se produit des côtes transversales, perpendiculaires aux lisières. Dans cette catégorie de tissu rentre le gros de Tours, le cannelé alternatif, le cannelé d'Inde et un dérivé, le cannetillé. La soie fut la plus souvent employée aux XVIIIe s. pour la fabrication de ce tissu, mais le coton et la laine peuvent être utilisés. L'armure du cannelé sert aussi dans l'industrie de la rubanerie.  1, record 4, French, - cannel%C3%A9%20d%27Inde
