Abstract
Description
Genre: adat. Title: Pu loga no'o bha'i. Pitu Sopune recorded and interviewed lakimosa Ngaji Pione 26 March 2023 in Mata mere hamlet. About animals and their connection with the ancestors and the living. In this recording Ngaji tells about the whale pu loga and the seasnake ndola sengge. Permissions or asking something to sea cretures goes through Toga and Raga, and Lu and Lai (corals). Ngaji provides an example of how the whale can communicate important information. Ngaji was fishing quite far from Palu’e Island, to the west, Peke Mbai. At home a family member had passed away. As they were about to set sail for Pota to sell their catch, a huge fish, a whale, bumped its back onto the boat three times. They were about to capsize. The sea snake ’hika ’bha’i’ is a similar sign when it appears on the water surface at sea, or when Palu’e is within sight or nearby. The sea snake does not say that somebody is ill, but that the end is near, so come quickly. The recording and the annotation work was supported by a Firebird Foundation Supplemental Research Grant for the Documentation of Oral Literature and Traditional Ecological Knowledge. Mboe Erixon aided with the transcription and translation (edited by SD).
