Description:Five recordings in which the augury involving burning bamboo and have it burst (waq lingxtalc) was performed by Mr Tankhil (Tanckhilx) who is the last unconverted person in Rima. This involved placing the bamboo cut from the field by Nanman's brother Philiman. The bamboo is placed on the fire, and prayer is said (in two short sections) and when the eye of the bamboo bursts, it is cut. The left side of the cut section (waqphukthatq) represents the house and the right side belongs to the spirit (jongxbanx haqkhux) - jongx 'water', banx 'forest side' - this spirit lives in the stream; haq 'land', khux 'head'; If the piece bursts on the left side (top being up), it is not good, because it bursts in the people's side. This rejected one is called lingxjaq. If it bursts in middle it is very good, if on the right side it shows that evil spirits have gone. If on both sides it is also rejected. (Nanman spoke incorrectly about this in the English explanation). Five recordings Video -01 augury for good location of house, -02, augury for good location of field, 03 Nanman's explanation in English, 04 - explanation and close up of the four pieces cut for the field augurty -05 explanation of four pieces cut for the house augury; Photo SDM34-nstjog_20230123_JS_RimaAugury-01.jpg shows the bamboo pieces from the augury for the good location of a field; -02.jpg shows he bamboo pieces from the augury for house building. The first two parts of the discussion were also recorded on a Zoom H5 as SDM34-nstjog20230123_HSM_RimaAugury-01wav, archived here as SDM34-nstjog20230123_JS_RimaAugury-01wav.
