LAGLAGIWIN

When the mambunong decides that a person has been made sick by his

guardian spirit, he causes the sick person to hold a chicken in his

hand and to repeat the following:

Sika Laklakiwin, ay poon di ababiik, omalika tan magay ya ak

sika si manok makon sikay mamaspasaki, un ya adodi ya adi un

pansakitun sakun.

You, Laglagiwin, the origin of the ababiik, come, because I will

give you a chicken if you are the one that has caused the sickness,

and you will not again make me sick.

The chicken is then killed and cooked, and just before it is eaten

the sick person repeats the prayer.
