A SEA-DAYAK DIRGE. 
54—Sitak gegulu sida ti 
indu nganjong baku 
baka manok indu me- 
rembam tansang; 
Beguai nganjong 
lengguai bebunt u t 
tuang. 
55— Sambut enggau kukut 
jari butang; 
Trima enggau tapa sa- 
bla ngengkang : 
56— “Oh ! Enti pia pepa- 
dah me kita ti mandi 
tadi sa kayu rumah 
nesau lawang; 
Bekumbai kita sa kayu 
rumah milang orang." 
57— Lalu nyungkah nen- 
gah rumah panjai je- 
mentang; jejengkak 
nengah a w a k t e m - 
puan lantang; datai 
di penvurai punggang 
penyambang. 
58— “Angkat kita Bug i" 
(sayau rempi nadai 
belantang) ; “Angkat 
Jiap apai Imbang.” 
59 — Entak ngeleduing sida 
Saliding apai K r a n -

Briak, tampong Le- 
pang; Sintak Ngen- 
tuyong Pantong, tam¬ 
pong Sabang; beja- 
lai apai Tanai benama 
Muyang; begili Jam- 
pi, tampong E m -

Forthwith all the women 
folk come together bring¬ 
ing the brass betel sirih 
boxes that look like a hen 
sitting on her nest of 
eggs; 
With haste bring the leng¬ 
guai chewing cases which 
still bear upon them the 
casting marks that have 
not yet been filed away. 
They are received with the 
(dainty) forefingers ; 
With the palms that bear 
the criss-cross lines : 
“Oh ! If so, you who Avere 
bathing just now, tell all 
in this long house to 
come ; 
“Tell every door, call every 
one." 
Up get they abruptly and 
Avalk through the long 
straight house; they 
speed along the spacious 
passage; until they 
reach that part of the re¬ 
ception room that is close 
to the eaves at the end of 
the house. 
“Up with you Bugi” (Bugi 
who alas died childless); 
“Up Avith you Jilap father 
of Imbang." 
Saliding the father of 
Krandang and others rise 
hastily; along speed 
Briak closely followed by 
Eepang ; Pantong darts 
off followed by Sabang ; 
(in their wake) moves the 
father of Tanai, knoAvn 
as Muyang ; Jampi runs 
(after them) followed by 
Embuang. 
58.— Jilap , Saliding , etc., etc., are names of men who died long ago.
