The head was buried near the hazoa, at any convenient spot where it could be found if the owners ransomed it, but any old how, not necessarily face down or face up. |

The head-takers went to a temporary house apart, wearing white cloths only - no black thread, remained chaste, one day only. Puja done with cock by old men, for future success in war. Invocation with " Hram mu na neo, pateo pre heteo wong zeo, here Lei-ra hang prui Ka-i, Prui-ka-i telu-lei mui le. Lei mui de le heteo here-peo du. Pa-mik hazai sung-zu. Wong-keu dao-lao.

When the temporary hut was broken down by the old men after the 'puja' the white clothes worn by the head-takers were taken by the old men and not taken back into circulation. |
