}5Y THE UEVD. W. HOWELL. 
Nya kra din ding kami, 
unggal, alai siduai 
nyandih ka tarabai 
memesai pintu.” 
1 (}() “N ya kra tandok 
rusa kami alai siduai 
ngait ka ma sega wi 
Labu, 
Nya, unggal, bering- 
ka kaweng alai kita 
ngait ka isau kita 
duai belinga-lingu.” 
“That is the wall, friends, 
against which you can 
lean your mighty door¬ 
wide shields.” 
“Those are our deer-horns 
on which you can hang 
your burdens of Labu 
sega rotan, 
‘And those, friends, are our 
spare hooks where you 
can both hang up your 
much decorated isau 
swords.” 
200 N'yeliah kita alai 
orang ngengkah ka 
ladongbepa.pan tebe- 
lian nebal pa ;” 
Tegagit orang nginsit 
ambis ka telentang. 
?oi — Terentak bala ban- 
yak alai ngengkah ka 
galas rumpas lalin 
sega wi segala. 
Ko jako, lama bejalai 
enda apus ka hari, 
Diglar bangkar bem- 
ban sapeniri, 
Diglar kechik lela- 
yang laki. 
202—Tak dedurah ti mer¬ 
le a s rumah betam- 
pong tulang, 
Berunding ngaling di 
bebuling kaki tiang. 
‘Step ye aside so that they 
may put down their la- 
dong baskets that are 
planked with iron-wood 
as thick as one’s thigh ;” 
Precipitately the people 
give way, and are like to 
have fallen backwards. 
The whole assemblage is 
shaken when medium¬ 
sized galas baskets, made 
of the unsplit rotan sega, 
are dumped down (on 
the floor). 
It is said they have walk¬ 
ed a long time but have 
not been a way for a 
whole day, 
They are betitled “the un- 
finished rush-mat” the 
height of a man, 
They are betitled “the 
male swallow.” 
Then with a loud voice 
speaks the Chief who 
governs the house, the 
roof of which is joined 
to other roofs. 
He who keeps the posts of 
the house together begins 
to give directions.
