Very early morning, men go to gather sugarcane while some ritualists, mumbā'i, stay at home offering prayers to various spirits. When the men return, chickens are sacrificed, cooked and eaten by those gathered. The sugarcane is then prepared, cut into lengths of about 500 cm. and crushed. Rich people ceremonially use a squeeze-press, hewagan 1a, to begin this process, switching to a more efficient vertical-roller press, balīwoh, completing it around noontime, nuntonga.
