| German | German Während eines Festes werden die Trauertabus eines Witwers und der Mittrauernden aufgehoben. Sie dürfen sich wieder waschen, rasieren, Haare schneiden, kämmen und gute Nahrung zu sich nehmen. Nach Durchführen von Reinigungsriten wird der Witwer in einen Yamsstapel eingepackt, um aus ihm als Neugeborener zu entsteigen. |
| English | English The widower Talogihi and his relatives celebrate the ending of the mourning period. Restrictions or taboos that were placed on him since his wife's death are now being lifted; he was forbidden to wash, cut or comb his hair, shave, and be given good food. The women who had worn long aprons are now permitted to shorten them. Talogihi finally goes through a ritual symbolizing his rebirth without mourning restrictions into society. |
