German
Senemal, ein Mann aus dem Dorf Banolbil, legt auf seinem Pflanzungsareal nahe dem Primärwald einen rituellen Taro-Garten an, um die Geister zu veranlassen, für eine gute Taro-Ernte zu sorgen. Nachdem er sich Cordylinen als rituelle Pflanzen geholt hat, setzt Senemal in seinem Garten eine Anzahl Taro-Stecklinge, die zusammen mit Cordylinen und Steinen zu einer den Geistern gefallenden Komposition werden. Die Taro-Stecklinge werden vor dem Einsetzen rituell behandelt.

Senemal, a man from the village of Banolbil, sets up a ritual taro garden on his planting area near the primary forest in order to cause the spirits to ensure a good taro harvest. After he has obtained dracaenas (cordyline) as ritual plants, Senemal sets a number of taro cuttings in his garden. Together with dracaenas and stones these become a composition that the spirits will like. The taro cuttings are ritually treated before being set.
