Orientable Surface Covers Non-Orientable Surface

1.6k Views Asked by At

I need to describe how a 4-genus orientable surface double covers a genus 5-non-orientable surface. I know that in general every non-orientable compact surface of genus $n\geq 1$ has a two sheeted covering by an orientable one of genus n-1. I tried to use the polygonal representation of these surfaces and try to get one from the other by cutting along some side as is done for the torus as a double cover of the Klein bottle. But It got really confused.

Thanks!
