Description:The singer praises the Payam (district) of Aweeng (also known as Akuar) led by chief Langdit. This is the district both the singer and her husband are from. The inhabitants of that district are peaceful and her husband´s clan has many tethers (by implication: many cows). She praises the bull Mabil (black with white on sides) of her father-in-law Wieu Malou. She says he was well-known in the Aweeng area for his wealth. She also sings about the history of her husband´s clan. They come from the Luach area (north of Tonj). They migrated from there because of blood feud. There was a lot of killing going on in the clan, and they lost most of their cows, in compensation for murders. They ran away after seven people had been killed. There were 4 brothers and one sister. During their long journey, they ate boiled dura because they have no pounding stick to grind dura. Then a miracle happened: a pounding stick and a flat basket (alɛ ̈th/atany) fell down from heaven, and their sister took it. They didn´t run out of dura – this was a miracle too. The Luach reached them during the journey, and killed two of them - Tong and Deng. At last they reached the Aweeng area, and settled in the village of Nyang Aheer, where they live up to this day.
