Shou-bau-bu - the ceremony of entering the morung. Today six boys entered the Thepong, among them Shankok's younger brother, Puknei, who is about 8 years old. In the morning the oldest man of Shankok's clan killed a pig in front of Shankok's house and said: [konyak]. (166) Before this Yong-long, the [] of Sha-yang-hu (Aukheang), the successor of Chinyak, who died about a fortnight ago, had come to Shankok's house and had taken madhu and rice. There was happening nothing else today except that the brothers and sisters of the boys who enter the morung, of course, alternatively, beat the drum. |
