Ein Mann aus Bisha-ashi-teri quirlt Feuer mit Hilfe eines stehenden und eines liegenden Holzes von Theobroma cacao. Er hält das über einer Grube liegende Holz mit den Zehen fest und quirlt das stehende mit beiden Handflächen, bis die Glut auf den Zunder in der Grube fällt.

A man brings forth from his quiver his fire-making tools, puts the smaller stick, shaped like a lancet, on the ground and twirls the larger stick in a pit in the lower piece of wood until a spark is drawn and raised to a blaze by the heat occasioned by the friction, glowing pieces of wood drop on the tinder in a pit below the piece of wood and ignite it.
