musu pigoo? musu em olsem enn amb igugum enn abagam pinot (for some its a abagam yot, i spoke against people. if my thinking is like that i'll get pain, but if i talk about it i'll get better)

(my son, nason was sick, i killed a pig and he got better. the kid got his mum and came up and didn't put any thinking but he got sick, so i killed a pig and talked to the leaders and told them my heavy thinking. i did this and that bad thing i told them, and i killed a pig to make wanbel, everyone ate and the kid got better, now he's fine.)

4: 0:03:22
(yes sometimes sick people have wanbels and they eat, but they die. sometime sick people tell everyone that they want a wanbel, but they die and then we leave it. if someone quickly does a wanbel they will get better)

5: 0:04:13
(yes we do that, if there is a thing we'll sit and see it's mark and it'll get better)

7: 0:04:44
(if there is talk i'll do nothing. if talk has been put then i won't get the sick. if i see sick people i might take my family and go to the bush and be alone. the sick will come to people, but we'll be somewhere else. if we stay in the village we'll catch the mesil going round.)

8: 0:05:56
(if we get sick we'll know why, if you guys get sick you'll know why but we won't. we'll just be here. you guys might know why people are sick, but we don't)

9: 0:06:42
(some sick people go to the river, and some stay by the fire. some people want the shade by the river)

10: 0:07:25
(if we put thinking then we'll get better. some people want to be in the shade by the river, up in the village is hot.)
