saharakan
sarahakan
mag-
‘ritual’ to demand an immediate marriage.
The suitor and his parents or family go to the parents of the girl he hopes to marry. He offers a bride price. If the parents of the girl refuse, they must match the bride price and give the money to the rejected suitor. If they cannot pay, they must give their daughter. The matching of the money portion of saharakan ritual is no longer done on Sibutuh.
Daa na kow magsaharakan, magpoleh na sidja kam.
Don't you go there and demand an immediate marriage, you just elope now.

Note that aa , "person", is often contracted a- and prefixed to the verb.
Niyah amagsaharakan sangom tutu ni lumah tabi.
