  1. A bune
    When a person's little tongue falls it stops him from eating and drinking and they are also unable to talk. There was (once) a man once and his tongue fell and he sent for a woman who knew how to cure the ailment. When she came she would not tell him how she was going to cure him. She then sent for two sons and she told them to hold the man down on the chair she then got a hold of the hair that grows around the crown with her teeth and pulled with all her might. When she stoped pulling the man was cured.
