Description

Talking about traps I learned that Nama's uncle (named ambiniƋ) was killed by a trap when he was a little boy. His father had clearly showed him where the trap was and so everyone is puzzled as to why he fell into the pit trap. Samuel told me Sanguma was watching the trap, and Sanguma caused him to fall in and die. "Sanguma bagarapim em pinis" he said - he was already dead because of Sanguma and falling into the trap didn't kill him. This is worth investigating when we're able to in tok ples.

(the story is just how the guy fell in a trap and was buried. There is no supernatural element spoken of)
