Charms used by Mentera in Rice-cultivation.

Uma pemuka mulut pemuka aku buka-la blia di-ilir dibila ole blia aku
membuang seitan jato bliinto bulum ko tawar aku membuang bisa seitan minta
buangkan minta jaukan segala seitan. •"
- These two mysterious words occur
in Vaughan-Stevens' charms, p. 704 «.,
supra ; and also in a slightly different
form in the first of the Mentera charms
used in connection with rice-cultivation,
infra. Logan here translates " b. b.
tawar" " uncharmed biluntok," whatever
that may be, and the version in vol.
"• P- 333> assumes "biluntok" to be
the name of a shrub, and " bilum " to
represent Mai. " bilang " ; scd qiuere.

^ See note on of

' Mai. "terkena."
^ J. I. A. i. 318. Logan's trans-
lation, on which the version given in
vol.
that
ii. p. 333, is founded, assumes
" jiwa " = Mai. "jiwa," "life."
But this is at least questionable, as is
also the translation of "memalang"'
( = replace), which is probably Mai.
" membalang," "to throw away," and
"jiwa" may be for "dewa," in the sense
of " spirits," in this case maleficent
ones. If so, the meaning would be :
" Om ! ye spirits primeval, spirits and
devils ! I have counteracted the spirits
that lodge, the spirits that are incurred ;
I cast out the spirits that are hard of
heart. Ve souls of the spirits, arise
and come forth ! all ye spirits within
the belly, within the body, come out
forthwith ! I cast out all spirits !
^ Used to charm the uncleared spot
selected for clearing with a view to
planting rice there. A translation is
given on p. 366 of this volume, differ-
ing somewhat from Logan's. Both are
doubtful.
