temmug
N-, mag-
To cense s.t.; to place s.t. into the smoke of incense or other substances.
Incense or leaves of certain trees are burnt and the smoke is believed to be beneficial. It is said to cure certain sicknesses or to increase the effectiveness of charms. For example a woman with red spots breaking out all over her face, her eyelids and ears swelling was believed to be having an allergic reaction to the balunu fruit. So leaves of the balunu tree were burnt and she had to place her face into the smoke. Sometimes smoke like that is passed around the body of a person in order to cure some sickness.

Magtemmug kew duk dawen bewunu' duk kewuli'an sakinun.

Pitu tabibin nemmug a'a masaki iyan.
