After they finished eating they took the big coconut shell and filled it with basi and each of them drank, and they were all drunk, and Langa-an said, "I like to hear from you if you wish Lingiwan to be a son." Soon Pagbokásan and Ebang agreed. They decided on the day for pakálon.
"No, old man, you tell your name first," said Algaba. Not long after, "My name is Pagatipánan who am the Lakay of Kadalayapan." Not long after, "My name is Pagbokásan who is the father of Aponibalagen of Kaodanan." Not long after, "My name is Algaba who is the son of an alan who has deformed feet, who has no sister; we are not like you people who have power," said Algaba.
After that they stopped dancing, and they talked to each other, and the two young men who met Aponibolinayen and Aponigawani were with them, because they arrived at the same time. So the old man Pagatipánan said, "Ala, cousin Pagbokásan now we are going to chew betel-nut to see if those two young men who took home Aponigawani are our relatives," and old man Pagbokásan agreed.
As soon as the pakálon was finished the people all went home, and Pagbokásan and Ebang said, "Ala, now that the pakálon is over let us take Aponigawani," Langa-an answered, "If you make extra payment you can take Aponigawani now," and Dangdangáyan said to his mother, "If they want the extra payment, ask them how much."
So they cut the betel-nut which was covered with gold for them to chew and as soon as they cut the nut they all chewed, and they all spat. The spittle of Lingiwan went to the spittle of Pagatipánan, and the spittle of Aponigawani, went there also. The spittle of Dangdangáyan went to the spittle of Pagbokásan and that of Aponibolinayen also, and thus they found out that they were relatives.
So they chewed and Aponitolau said, "My name is Aponitolau of Kadalayapan who is the son of Langa-an and Pagbokásan to whom you told a lie for you said you were Gimbangonan, and now I want to know your real name." "My name is Aponibolinayen of Natpangan who is the daughter of Ebang and Pagatipánan."
Not long after, "My name is Aponibalagen of Kaodanan who is the son of Ebang and Pagbokásan." Not long after, "My name is Aponigawani of Kadalayapan who has no brother, so that when some enemies come into our town I dress in the bark of trees." Not long after, "My name is Aponibolinayen who is the sister of Aponibalagen." As soon as they told their names, they laid down their betel-nut quids.
I came here for Balbalaoga, and his sister sent me to come and get you." So Ebang and Pagbokásan were surprised, because Aponibolinayen had another brother. So they called Awig and said to him, "Here is a betel-nut from Dona which Aponibolinayen and Balbalaoga sent, for they want to see us."
The father and mother of Ligi were surprised and so they chewed betel-nut so as to find out who the lady was. The quid of Langa-an and Pagbokásan went to the quid of Ligi and thus they knew who Aponibolinayen was. Ebang and Pagatipánan were surprised that she was their daughter, and they called her Aponibolinayen, and they called Ligi Aponitolau.
