9. Betiang garong (“making a post for departed souls”): A piece of bamboo is hung up to the roof-ridge, and an offering is put on the ridge. A swing is erected up there for the manang, and he makes his incantations and “catches the soul.”
10. Begiling lantai (“rolled up in the flooring”): In this ceremony, when the manang feigns to swoon, his body is rolled up in part of the flooring, and certain miniature articles are put by his side, just as a dead man’s possessions are put by his body, and the manang is taken out of the house as if to be buried.
11. Beburong raia (“making or acting the adjutant bird”): The manangs walk up and down the house seven times, imitating the actions of the adjutant bird. They are covered with native sheets, put over their bodies like cloaks, and they pretend to personate the bird.
12. Bebaju besi (“wearing an iron coat”): Each manang fastens two choppers on his back and two in front, and carries one in each hand. Thus equipped, they walk round and “catch the soul.”
13. Bebandong Api (“displaying fire”): The patient is laid out in the public part of the house, and several small fires are made round him. The manangs pretend to dissect his body, and fan the flames towards him to drive away the sickness.
14. Betiti tendai (“walking on the tendai”): The tendai is the bar on which cotton is placed when being spun. This bar is oiled and placed in the middle of the public veranda, and the manang, armed with a chopper in each hand, walks on it in order to “catch the soul” of the patient.
15. Beremaung (“acting the tiger”): In the middle of each family’s portion of the public veranda is placed a wooden mortar, and the manang prowls round them to “catch the soul” of the patient.
16. Betukup rarong (“to split open the coffin”): A manang is put in a coffin, and by his side are put miniature articles, supposed to represent the utensils used in daily life. The other manangs walk round, and attempt to “catch the soul” of the sick man. When they have succeeded in doing this, the coffin is split open and the manang gets out.
These are the different kinds of manang ceremonies known, but only the first four are in common use. The others are rarely resorted to nowadays.
