Note 88 — 6

As soon as they arrived there the families who made the balaua went to meet them at the gate of the town and made alawig88 for them. After that they stopped dancing, and they talked to each other, and the two young men who met Aponībolinayen and Aponīgawanī were with them, because they arrived at the same time. So the old man Pagatipánan said, “Ala, cousin Pagbokásan now we are going to chew betel-nut to see if those two young men who took home Aponīgawanī are our relatives,” and old man Pagbokásan agreed. So they cut the betel-nut which was covered with gold for them to chew and as soon as they cut the nut they all chewed, and they all spat. The spittle of Lingīwan went to the spittle of Pagatipánan, and the spittle of Aponīgawanī, went there also. The spittle of Dangdangáyan went to the spittle of Pagbokásan and that of Aponībolinayen also, and thus they found out that they were relatives. Pagbokásan was surprised, for he did not know that he had a son, and Ebang took her son, and she carried him as if he was a baby. And Lingīwan was glad, because he had met his sister during the fight and Langa-an carried him as if a baby.
