Description

I've seen a few traps "ʔasiβe" along the trail as we hike around. I'm told there are 5 typesː tumul ʔasaβe (a drop trap), siŋgol ʔasiβe, ʔogot ʔasiβe, ʔulub ʔasiβe and tumuŋ ʔɑsiβe. In the past traps were made for people too. Someone was killed by a trap a generation ago (see Ambining killed in a trap).
