95—Sintak gegulu si da ti 
indu niki ka parong 
sadau lantang, 1 a 1 u 
muka ira tali penan- 
chang, 
Lain dingkas ka ari 
punggai pala tiang, 
Lalu diulur ari pun pe- 
pan lintang. 
96—Lalu disambut enggau 
kukut baka 1 u n g g a 
buat ditampong ulu 
tulang ; 
Terima enggau t a p a 
sebla ngengkang. 
In a crowd the women 
swarm to the upper 
spacious garrets, and un¬ 
fasten the strings that tie 
up the baskets, 
And let them down from 
the top of the posts, 
And lower them d o w n 
through the openings be¬ 
tween the joists. 
They are caught with the 
hands (lit. nails) that are 
like knives with bone 
handles, 
They are received with 
the palms that have lines 
(of destiny) running 
across them. 
97—“Peda sengabai kita 
d u a i enggaika tebe- 
runsai sal ah tanehang, 
Tali tadong pernong 
enggai ka kru temeran 
temengkring k a n g- 
kang.” 
98—“Ganggam temeran 
lama dikirai, 
Tegoli tanehang ari 
ten g a n g t e d a ka 
pemansai." 
99—San tent ran bebanang 
punggang, 
San seligi gembar 
brayang 
100 — “Anang ban gat lama 
enggaika bisi indu 
pesina lama empruji 
ati, 
Enggaika kam i 
ban gat lama nganti.” 
“Look to the straps lest 
they get loose being 
wrongly fastened, 
“Look to the bark string 
of the porter's basket 
lest it be brittle, the 
temeran bark is wont to 
become hard." 
(Answer they)—“The long- 
dried temeran bark is 
strong, 
“And the fastenings are 
stronger than those pieces 
of the ten gang string that 
are left over after making 
the finest.” 
They shoulder their spears 
with the banded shafts, 
They shoulder their 
wooden throwing spears 
along with their arrow- 
headed fish spears. 
“Do not delay if you meet 
with your old sweet¬ 
hearts, 
“Lest we should have long 
to wait for your return.”
