Nyalow’s mother creates rain and storm. Many narrative gaps. End of story. Very choppy but interesting. Clear. The place where Nyalow went to marry was accustomed to delivering babies by cutting open the mother’s belly. Nyalow hid and gave birth naturally from which the people of that place learned about natural Nyakupwen of Mpukey telling story of Ponpon and his mother. She makes a fishing spear for him. Contains sung refrains. Pasim ai refers to the mother making spear with one point. Translator having trouble translating the sung refrains. Spear with two points, two fish. Gets to ten points. His wife’s name Saina. She doesn’t return his song. He finds her dead. He brings her back to life striking her with ten sticks. She died because her husband’s brother came to have sex with her. The brother is shamed, runs away to bush and dies. A Mpukey enrilank (a song, cry, lament—typical Titan cry) Very long clear, well sung enrilank. Another enrilank by same singer. I might have notes on these recordings. Also very long. Useless without in-field translation. ". Language as given:
