They first pronounce a shouted blessing on the first-evening major blessing sub-ritual before anyone goes into the house to go and drink rice beer.
Ritualists, mumbā'i, first enter the house. After prayers to numerous spirits, a couple of chickens are killed, singed, cut up and cooked. One ritualist then comes out of the house where people are gathered and shouts something as follows:
Yōhoy! Nabūtonga'! nabalangtāna'! Ti un ami mangīpad an mamalinpin ya munhonga ta duminong di lobo' ad Lāgud ya lobo' ad Dāya, ya matāguy mamogmogan ya u''ūnga, ya gumī'od di pāguy ya pumhod an amin di mahābal ya adi himānan di inggi ya balakānaw ya didāat tuwāli matanāan matalimpugūan.
Yōhoy! I'm drunk! I'm drunk! Because we are performing an elaborate blessing ritual, an elaborate blessing ritual, and we are offering (meat) for a blessoffering so that sickness from Downriver and from the Heavens will end, and the flocks will prosper and also children, and the rice will last long and all the crops will become good and the rats and snakes won't eat them so that they will all endure long.
