54/205 When the Voice is near to a Chingulaye's house, he will curse the Devil, calling him Geremoi goulammah, Beef-eating Slave be gone, be damned, cut his Nose off, beat him a pieces. And such like words of Railery, and this they will speak aloud with noise, and passion, and threatning. This Language I have heard them bestow upon the Voice; and the Voice upon this always ceaseth for a while, and seems to depart, being heard at a greater distance. Which they do after this manner. They prepare an Offering of Victuals ready dressed; one dish whereof is always a red Cock. |
