    done by saying: isɛrhĩ-ɔ̃ [ ˩ ˥ ˩ / ]
    I take the curse from you (re-
    duplicated: isɛrhiɛ̃rhĩ-ɔ̃ [ ˩ ˥ ˩ ˩ / ],
    shortened into isɛɛrhĩ-ɔ̃ [ ˩ \ ˩ / ]).
    If it is, however, a curse sworn
    at an ihɛ̃-shrine, a sacrifice must
    be made to the ihɛ̃, whereupon
    water from a cup is spat on the
    man on whom the curse lies, or
    into the air if he is absent, and
    the above mentioned formula
    is said. lf the cursed man is
    absent, the formula is isɛrhiɛ̃-
    rhiɛ̃ [ ˩ ˥ ˩ ˥ ], or isɛrhiɛ̃rhĩ-ɔɛ̃ [ ˩ ˥ ˩ ˥ \ ]
    “I take the curse from him”.
