Note 22 — Chapter IX · ANIMAL WORSHIP.
Reading edition
A loaf is cut into three parts. One of them is designated kāl (ordinary), the second dukāl (famine), and the third sukāl (plenty). Next they are offered to a crow. If the crow takes away the kāl, it is believed that the crops in the following year will be normal; if it takes away the dukāl a famine is apprehended in the following year, and if the sukāl, it is believed that the crops will be plentiful.22
