(are we going to meet on Saturday? That's what they say Why are we going to meet? I don't know, we're going to talk about 1 talk and so they will gather us, I don't know. You could ask someone who knows, but I don't. I was in the bush and came yesterday and was told there is a meeting but don't know what it's about. Kavaluku called the meeting, he said something about some bad talk about Nambi. Have you heard any bad talk? No I haven't)

(on Saturday we went and met, we talked about some bad thoughts and bad talk. We talked about a hevi and said now we're here let's put it right. Their hevi they went and they talked. They talked about behaviour in church for a long time and put that right. When that was done there was more talking and it was done. That was it. Who called the meeting? - he can't say the name Kavaluku - the komiti called it, he called it so we could fix bad thinking, and now we're all wanbel and we came. It seemed like Ebesil and Tolookum had a lot of talk and Kokoma didn't is that true? true, they talked for a long time and fixed things. Our talk was short there was just 1 thing, we cut our short thoughts and came. Is everyone wanbel now? everyone is wanbel, we fixed the thinking and got good thinking. Our thinking is there so now it'll be good.)
