ewawa [ ˩ ˩ ˩ ] a method of divina-
    tion practised by the Osũ [ ˩ ˥ ]
    priests: small images of human
    beings and animals, cowries,
    chalk, charcoal, and a model of
    a canoe are put on a drum. A
    chewed kolanut is spat on to it,
    whereupon the images are put
    into a cup and thrown on the
    drum again. The resulting ar-
