blessed to bring a good crop; oil, vinegar, and water are
blessed to use medicinally; candles for orasion prayers
are blessed. Matches are blessed and put into a sack of
seed rice, along with a haircomb and betel nuts. The sack is
set down in the field while the seed is being sown to
ensure a good crop.
