  The 
  keepers 
  admonished 
  the 
  men 
  to 
  speak 
  the 
  truth 
  without 
  fear 
  

   or 
  hesitation, 
  for 
  the 
  omniscient 
  birds 
  present 
  in 
  the 
  packs 
  would 
  

   hear 
  and 
  report 
  their 
  words 
  to 
  Thunder, 
  the 
  god 
  of 
  war. 
  The 
  pen- 
  

   alties 
  for 
  exaggeration 
  or 
  false 
  statement 
  were 
  then 
  recounted.
