ulul
A compensation, restitution, recompense or substitution (for a damaged item or a debt that cannot be paid).
Property as well as living things can be given as compensation. The one the compensation is given to has total authority over it even as to killing it. A wife may become an ulul to her husband if she has been unfaithful but has no means of paying the fine imposed on her. If an animal gets hurt through my fault or my animal’s fault and I replace it with one of mine that is also an ulul.
Ulul kābewnen si aku pegge' matey kābewkun tinanduk we' kābewnen.
His carabao is a compensation to me because my carabao died being horned by his carabao.
Bang niya' takasuwa' kami me' panyap kami bakas tangkewbi, ulul ka'am si kami.
If we find our possessions that you stole, you will be our compensation.
Ulul luma'kun si a'a miya'an pegge' niya' utangku si iye bu ga' niya' pagbayedku.
My house is a compensation to that person because I have a debt to him and I cannot pay.
