A marriage-confirmation gift.
Nun'apu da Wīgan ay Dulnugwan at unat goh natoy hi inan Wīgan ya inyuy Dulnugwan din ubūan ta balehwat.
Wīgan and Dulnugwan were related as affinal siblings and so when the mother of Wīgan died, Dulnugwan took a hen (to Wīgan) as a marriage-confirmation gift.
The gift, consisting of a chicken, blanket, or piece of clothing, is given to the parent or parents of one's future child-in-law when a couple is engaged or within the first six months or so of marriage. It is given as token help either when the spouse or parent of the one given the gift has died or when the latter brings out the bones, bū'a, of an ancestor. The gift is given to demonstrate to the surviving parent or parents of one's future child-in-law that one recognizes the validity of the engagement or marriage of their respective children. Failure to give a gift at this time results in dissolution of the engagement or marriage.
