maN-
-on, ma--an
To compliment or praise a person resulting in the person
developing a skin rash or sores; for a person to become sick with a
rash or sores due to a person speaking words of flattery.
Only certain people have the power to do this. Sometimes
it is done intentionally, sometimes unintentionally. If such
a person flatters you, ask him to immediately take a bit of
his saliva and rub it on your skin as a sompa, a
counter-curse to protect you from developing a skin rash.
