Note 181 — 19

Not long after they arrived in Kadalayapan. “The best for us to do, Wanwanyen-Aponībolinayen, is for us to build balaua and invite all of our relatives; perhaps you are not the daughter of an alan,” said Dumanau. “Why not? I am the daughter of the alan,” said Wanwanyen-Aponībolinayen. “Ala, let us build balaua anyway.” Not long after they commanded people to pound rice, and as soon as Wanwanyen was ready she commanded someone to go and secure the betel-nuts which were covered with gold. As soon as they arrived they oiled them. When it became evening they made Lībon.181 The next morning they sent the betel-nuts to invite their relatives. So they went. Not long after, “I am anxious to chew betel-nut. What is the matter with me?” said Aponīgawanī, who was lying down on her bed. As soon as she got up she found an oiled betel-nut which was covered with gold beside her. “Do not cut me; I came to invite you to the balaua which Wanwanyen and Dumanau make,” said the betel-nut, when she took it intending to cut it. So Aponīgawanī told the people of Kaodanan to start to attend balaua with Dumanau and Wanwanyen-Aponībolinayen. She was surprised because Dumanau had arrived, for they had heard that he was lost when he went to hunt deer. She said, “Perhaps he met a lady who never goes outdoors, who has power, when he went to hunt deer.” Not long after, “Ala, you people who live in the same town, let us go now to Kadalayapan for Dumanau's and Wanwanyen's balaua.”
