Reading edition
As soon as they arrived in the place where the people dipped water Page 133from the spring they asked where the ford was. “You look for the shallow place,” said the people who were dipping the water. Not long after they went across the river and some of the people who were dipping water went to notify the people making balaua that the visitors were there, so Dumanau and Wanwanyen went to the gate of the town and met them there and made alawig.182 Aponīgawanī and Aponībolinayen looked at the woman who was the wife of Dumanau and she was almost the same as Aponīgawanī. As soon as they finished alawig they took them up to the town. While they were sitting, Aponīgawanī was anxious to know who Dumanau's wife really was, so she went to Dumanau and said that they were going to chew betel-nut. “That is the best way to do so that we may know if we are related,” said Dumanau. So they took the betel-nuts and divided them in pieces. “You tell your name first, because you are the people who live here.” “No, my uncle, you old men are the first to tell your names.” “My name is Aponībalagen, who is the son of Pagatipánan and Ebang of Natpangan, who is the brother of Aponībolinayen.” “My name is Aponītolau, who is the son of Pagbokásan and Langa-an, who is the brother of Aponīgawanī, whose son is Dumnau.” “My name is Dumanau, who is the son of Aponītolau and Aponībolinayen of Kadalayapan.” “My name is Aponīgawanī of Kaodanan, who is the wife of Aponībalagen, who has no sister.” “My name is Aponībolinayen of Kadalayapan, who is the wife of Aponītolau, whose son is Dumanau.” “My name is Wanwanyen-Aponībolinayen, who is the daughter of an alan of Matawatawen.”
