Note 3 — Chapter XVI · FUNERAL CEREMONIES—continued

This is the name applied to the ceremonies connected with the final burning of the remains and burial of the ashes. After food has been distributed at the marvainolkedr, many of those attending the funeral return home. The remainder stay at the spot during the evening, those nearly related to the deceased lamenting in the usual fashion almost continuously. At a funeral attended by Samuel, the people took the setting of Kadsht and the appearance of Keirt3 as the indications that the final ceremonies were to begin, and this was about two o’clock on the following morning.
