text: When a drum is made it is dragged to the village by all the people of the village, men and women, not only by the people of one morung.
text: There is one old and rather small log-drum in front of one house. In former days then feasts of merit were still performed such drums were (52) dragged too by individuals instead of erecting a post or a stone. No more detailed information is to be had.
