aVipinylm Hanyul, North People song. In the treatment of some swellings upon the liody the 

 vipinylm songs are sung by a number of men, who at the same time perform a simple ceremony 

 intended to assist in the cure of the patient. Retiring to a structure temporarily erected from pole's 

 and sleeping mats, the participants, not necessarily medicinemen, make a number of images of 

 animals and edible plants, which they take, one at a time, to the patient, and allow him to touch. 

 After he has touched the object carried by each man in the party of singers they retire to get a 

 second supply. This is repeated a number of times until the cure is supposed to have been com- 

 pleted.
