There, they are crossing the 
top of the ladder—the 
ladder that is fashioned 
after the appearance of a 
long-shaped dog’s head. 
There, they are passing 
swiftly the end of the 
house which is construct-’ 
ed after the shape of a 
swallow's wings. 
There, they are leaving the 
ruan staircase (a log) with 
eighteen notches and are 
treading the open space 
before the house where 
the chaff of the emba- 
wang paddy is thrown 
away. 
There, they are going on 
the right of the croton and 
treading on the earth- 
rnade steps that are like 
the breast of the white 
mengkarong lizard. 
There, they are treading 
on the raised log that is 
about knee-high (fro m 
the ground) and which 
one can scarce step up to. 
There, they reached the 
mound of earth where the 
horn-shaped dalang 
gourds are placed. 
There, they are flinging 
back their long hair : 
their long hair that is 
like the sentabai creeper 
encircling a tree-trunk. 
There, they are twisting 
up their plaits, the Da- 
yang Telanjing, their 
twisted plaits that are 
rolled up in the shape of 
the down-river snail’s 
shell.

Bartlett, a somewhat rare species). Ed.

Jails.
