Terima Kasih.</p> <p>Definition of some ritual terms used in Adat Iban 1993:<br/>Note: A.J.N. Richards' 1981 Iban-English Dictionary has been used as a guide in the definitions of these ritual terms.</p> <p>[A]</p> <p>"Abi Besi" means the first token of cutting a virgin jungle to establish the right of ownership on the land for the first time (panggul berumpang kampung) and secondly it means the first token of cutting of the under-growth on the first day of the beginning of the farming season (panggul bumai temuda). It also means the mutually agreed boundary between two farms. The offence of "Abi Besi" is also committed when an attempt is made to usurp someone's land when his 'panggul' has been established, or to interfere with the mutually agreed boundary.</p> <p>"Adat Basu Kaki" literally means cleansing of the feet. When a Ketua Masyarakat or Tuai rumah or any elder is invited by a family to sub-divide a padi farm or distribute family heir-looms including padi grains, sacred properties such as charms, engkenyang it is in accord with customs to provide such a person with genselan in the form of a fowl, a knife for kering samengat and a jar for kurung samengat. It is also customary to provide karung kerubung or sangkar of one panding or alas or money equivalent to RM2 or RM4. In this Adat Iban "Mungkul" is used.</p> <p>"Anembiak" means a person or group of persons who are subjected to the 'rule' of a Tuai Rumah or Ketua Masyarakat and who generally respect the authority of these community leaders.</p> <p>"Asi Pana" means balls of black rice placed on a parang and eaten by the chief mourner or any person appointed to perform the task. The period of taking "Asi Pana" depends on the duration of "Tungkun Api" (mourning fire) which lasts for 3 or 5 or 7 nights according to the social standing of the deceased.</p> <p>[B]</p> <p>"Baiya" means the various personal effects, any articles or materials provided, for the deceased.</p> <p>"Balu" means widow or widower or widowed.</p> <p>"Bayar Pengerusak Tubuh" means a compensation paid by a person responsible for causing bodily injury to another, whether the injury is caused by an accident or negligence.</p> <p>"Bebanchak Babi" literally means spearing a pig. It is a form-of peace-making ceremony. It also performed to honor a very important guest to a festival.</p> <p>"Bebiau (melaki-bini)" literally means "waving" but in this context it is understood to mean an act of waving of fowl to declare a man and a woman as husband and wife with a prayer or invocation to shower blessing upon them for a life long happiness and a prosperous union. This simple ritual can be done before a Tuai Rumah and few relatives without the pomp, the gaiety and merriment that befit the "Melah Pinang".</p> <p>"Bebuting ka Menua" means cleansing of an area. It is a ritual ceremony to cleanse a territorial area to eradicate evil forces, which were thought to have caused failure to crops, or brought epidemic and other forms of calamities to the community.</p> <p>"Bedara" means performing ritual offering to ward off or appease the spirit.</p> <p>"Beduruk" means practicing a system of reciprocal labor.</p> <p>"Bekalih" literally means turning over. It is a ritual ceremony to permit the prohibited degree of marriage taking place between the third and fourth cousins.</p> <p>"Belega" means temporary divorce within a reasonable period of time for a newly-wed couple on the ground of a bad dream or omen.</p> <p>"Benda" means articles of value, articles of fines or valuable jars.</p> <p>"Besapat" literally means having a partition. It is a ritual ceremony to permit the prohibited degree of marriage taking place between the second and third cousins.</p> <p>"Bilik-family" means a family consisting of the parents, their children and grandparents who live in the family section of a longhouse.</p> <p>"Burung" means not only omen birds but also animals, reptiles, insects and tree whose noises, behaviour or actions can be regarded as an augury. In an abstract term, it refers to augury or omenology.</p> <p>[G]</p> <p>"Geliga" means a special announcement made by the host or his agent during a festival or a gathering to the effect that peace and harmony must be observed during the functions. Certain Tunggu are fixed if there is a breach of what has been laid down. The offender shall also be subject to an appropriate provision of the Adat Than depending on the gravity of the offence committed.</p> <p>"Genselan" means a kind of ritual propitiation provided by the offender for breach or infringement of a custom or taboo. In other words, it is a ritual offering to appease gods for any disturbances caused and to restore harmonious relation among members of the community.</p> <p>[I]</p> <p>"Iban" means Dayak (Sea) as defined in the Interpretation Ordinance, Cap. 1, Vol. I of the Laws of Sarawak, 1958.</p> <p>"Indu Padi" is a plant called engkenyang normally of the genus of herbs of a species of crinum of the amaryllideoe and is considered sacred by each farming family. It is planted out each year on the first day before dibbling starts.

The areca nut is split into five or seven pieces accompanied by other chewing ingredients such as, five or seven pieces of sireh leaves, gambler or lime placed on a brass tray or any other container. All the friends, relatives and elders of the community gather round the tray discussing over the binding nature of the marriage contract and other relevant adat. This ceremony is celebrated in the bride's house amidst the pomp and gaiety of merriment.</p> <p>If both parties agree to the compact, the following morning the bride is taken away to the bridegroom's house. Like most Iban ceremonies it is not complete without the ritual of waving a fowl over their heads (known as bebiau). The bride is conducted to the bridegroom's room and made to sit beside him. An elderly man who is considered to carry luck with him is asked to wave a life fowl over their heads, pronouncing a benediction, in front of relatives and other guests. The final rite is an act of declaration that they are husband and wife.</p> <p>"Pelasi Menua" means providing propitiatory offering to cleanse the territory of evil forces, epidemic and calamities that may befall the community as a result of the commission of certain offences such as incest or any other serious crimes in a particular area.</p> <p>"Mungkul" means a small jar used in olden days for settling disputes. Sometimes it is known as 'Mukul' or 'Menukul' according to what is customary to a particular area. However, mungkul has been popularised and widely used. All Tunggu in this Adat Iban are stated in "Mungkul". One Mungkul shall be equivalent to RM1 (one Malaysian ringgit).</p> <p>[N]</p> <p>"Ngambi Tebalu" means performing a ritual ceremony for the release of a widow or widower from the restriction or prohibition of widowhood or widower-hood.

Firmly strapped to the top of the main post is a spring post with the bottom end stretched to two short posts planted close to each other on the other side of the animal track by means of a string with a toggle at the end which is attached to a grommet. From this grommet, a trip cord is stretched across the track and tied to the main post. The grommet, the toggle and the trip cord constitute the trigger mechanism.</p> <p>When an animal is passing through its track and springs at the trip cord, the toggle slips from the grommet, thus releasing the spring post which is armed with a sharp bamboo blade free to strike the game at the vital part with a ferocious force. In order to strike at the vital part of the animal, an implement called "tuntun" is used to set the trip cord at the proper height. Tuntun is a stick on which the height measurements are prescribed and marked for the various types of animals.</p> <p>"Punas" means childless.
