A type of wide leaf, used for wrapping seaweed up in.
Ang latok bongoton mo ta daon ta badiang agod indi mapatay.
Wrap the seaweed up in the wide
leaf so it won't die.
These leaves are also used to cover the bamboo floor of a
house so that witches, mangalok, cannot look up into the
house and see a sick person. Witches do not get near these
leaves because they cause them severe itching.
Ba-lo amekan tang katri betangan kay lagi ta daon
ta badiang agod ang mangalok mga
magsirong-sirong indi magagoanta tenged mātel ig
indi maita.
Before the sleeping mat is put on the bed, first put
badiang leaves down so that the witch, when it goes
under the house, will not be able to stand the itching and
will not be able to see anyone.
