*    the sib who will insist on all



*    the amount paid by the para-



*    mour (or damages) being used



*    for the sacrifice as well as the



*    money received by the woman

*    cannot keep any of the money



*    paid to him by the paramour



*    as he would otherwise do, esp.



*    as the ɔka‿ɛgbɛe comes ac-



*    companied by other elders of the



*    sib, and must be entertained.
