  1. (continued from previous page)
    - Building a new house - ten pebbles are thrown in ground (site) first: if any are interfered with over night, those proposing to build become suspicious & the site is cleared.
    - On New Year's morning people hesitate to be first to raise smoke - and ashes are not thrown out on that day.
    - On Hallowe'en - a dish of champ is left and a vessel of clean water and house swept.
