No Mon, I mean, like _really_ there _only_ to provide shape. No contact a'tall. Some, dat is, not us.

We actually do it both ways, but we don't see anything wrong with there being contact, even rough contact, between the "irimi arm" and the neck/chin. But we're kind of unrefined. <by choice(?)>.
Best Regards,
