Ex2)Jainifi(>u Inj fJie Ku'rahus 



When the Ku'rahus and liis assistant have reached the child they 

 stand before it and sing the first stanza. The white-eagle feathered 

 stem is on the outside; there it is waved to guard the child from all 

 harm. Tlie brown-eagle stem is waved over the little one, .and the 

 mother, or whoever is holding it, must place it so that it can see the 

 feathered stem, for the song bids the cliild look up and see that tlie 

 miglity power Tira'wa has come, has acknowledged it as the child of 

 the permanent heavens, that- place far above even the light fleecy 

 clouds, which is always the same.
