If my thinking is like that I'll get pain, but if I talk about it I'll get better) 3: 0:02:18 (My son, Nason was sick, I killed a pig and he got better. The kid got his mum and came up and didn't put any thinking but he got sick, so I killed a pig and talked to the leaders and told them my heavy thinking. I did this and that bad thing I told them, and I killed a pig to make wanbel, everyone ate and the kid got better, now he's fine.) 4: 0:03:22 (yes sometimes sick people have wanbels and they eat, but they die. Sometime sick people tell everyone that they want a wanbel, but they die and then we leave it. If someone quickly does a wanbel they will get better) 5: 0:04:13 (yes we do that, if there is a thing we'll sit and see it's mark and it'll get better) 7: 0:04:44 (If there is talk I'll do nothing. If talk has been put then I won't get the sick. If I see sick people I might take my family and go to the bush and be alone. The sick will come to people, but we'll be somewhere else. If we stay in the village we'll catch the mesil going round.) 8: 0:05:56 (If we get sick we'll know why, if you guys get sick you'll know why but we won't. We'll just be here. You guys might know why people are sick, but we don't) 9: 0:06:42 (Some sick people go to the river, and some stay by the fire. Some people want the shade by the river) 10: 0:07:25 (If we put thinking then we'll get better. Some people want to be in the shade by the river, up in the village is hot.)

We'll be happy with that and God will be with us is what we'll tell him) 2: 0:01:03 (It's if I steal, if I hold a woman and do bad, if I hit someone, if I insult someone, if I wonder in some place, if I do something with a bottle? If I do lots of these bad things. I'll feel guilty musu agabi and God will send a sick and I'll confess these things to God and I'll be happy and get better) 3: 0:02:06 (yeah we do that. If we put thinking and still he's sick and is going to die we'll kill a pig and confess to the community and to God and he'll get better.) 4: 0:02:57 (yes sometimes we'll do the right things, but someone will die, If he confesses to God he'll get better, but if he has musu ombul then he won't and he'll die) 5: 0:03:42 (If agreement is put the person will get better) 6: 0:03:53 (yes if a person confesses their bad to God they'll get better, if he doesn't he'll die) 7: 0:04:32 (I'll not do bad things like hitting someone, if I keep my head down I won't get sick. If I break the rules God will send sickness.) 8: 0:05:21 (The question wasn't spoken clearly, he thinks he means washing. If a person has a fever we wash them and they get better) 9: 0:06:14 (carrying on with the previous misunderstanding - the water is cold and we wash them with it. I talk about the time Nambi and everyone went to the river and ask why they went. They broke a little rule of God and he gave them fever. So me, Ulumo and Nambi went to the river to be in the cold water. God put that on us and we came up)
