Description

Kokoma did a wanbel for Nambi in May 2024. He died in Dec 2023, and there was a meeting in Jan 2024 where some hevis were cleared up and everything was declared wanbel. Thus I was asking why there's another one months later.

(Nambi died and we spoke badly. We said we wanted to hit people and so we're going to wanbel. All the villages will come. So the meeting in Wasim Baganag wasn't enough? A sickness came and so we gave a wanbel talk at Wasim Baganag. Now we want to make a wanbel and so we're doing it. There's still a hevi so we want to fix it. Are you thinking about the current mesil sickness? Yes, it might hit us and so we'll do an abagam bili. You're afraid of sickness and so you're doing a wanbel? yes. We want the Nambi hevi to finish and to just be wanbel, the mesil will finish. What's the root of the hevi? Was it Nambi, or bad thoughts in the community? Nambi did his own hevi and he died. Was the hevi bad behaviour or bad thoughts? Nambi's family did it and they want to finish the hevi.)

(We said that we wanted to hit people, hit people and kill them. When we buried Nambi we said that we wanted to hit people and kill them. We wanted to hit the sorcerers. Ingis, Kobumbua, Tolookum and Pusila, we talked like that and so we're doing a wanbel. We did badly. So at the burial, that time is when you wanted to hit them? yes. We had bad thinking and sorcerer thinking. So at the Wasim Baganag meeting there was wanbel. Yeah, we didn't say these things, we put abagam bili on top of them) hobol nom iguwot nom hobol abagam bili hobol asam amoomung (so now we're putting a wanbel, we had the court last week and now we have this. I've heard that there's a mesil going around because of this hevi, is that right? Mesil is always going around and we just get better and go, so it's not that. We've done badly and we're putting the thinking ples klia, we want the hevi to finish, we don't want to get sick die. That's what we're thinking about and that's why we're doing it.)
