Entretejidas? What does this mean??
I am trying to understand a story in El Aleph by Jorge Luis Borges. I can not understand this word. Can you help me please? Thanks! Kelan

The Spanish Dict dictionary gives "interwoven". Could you post a sentence for context please?

Wow, yeah! Alright, thanks everybody! This helps out a lot. ![]()
In the context as provided I would say "as a whole" but someone else might come up with a better translation
It's two words Entre and Tejidas.
If used as an adjective, it can be either Tejido or Tejida.
If used as a noun, Tejido is something woven or knitted, such as a tapestry, and Tejida is a scene, like a picture, woven or knitted into the the tapestry.
....Esa Rueda estaba hecha de agua, pero también de fuego, y era (aunque se veía el borde) infinita. Entretejidas, la formaban todas las cosas que serán, que son y que fueron, y yo era una de las hebras de esa trama total....
without even looking it up I would guess "interwoven".
entre=between, among
tejer= to knit, to weave
