这里是一个大平行，套了一个小平行。

大平行: it was a source of meat, and its hide was used for clothing, its antlers and bones for tools, and its sinews and gut for bindings and glue.

小平行: its hide was used for clothing, its antlers and bones was used  for tools, and its sinews and gut was used for bindings and glue.

小平行里后面两个was used被省略了。

谢谢，这个我看懂了，只是省略谓语部分后的东西是什么结构呢？

我认为这三个所有格的平行完全是省略了重复出现was used，后面两个短语部分不应该被看作是独立主格结构(虽然其结构相似)，因为从句意上可知，后面两个部分不是主句的从属成分，而是主句的一个部分。
