Jensen regards Pa-sag as a possible phonetic form, but his view is hardly tenable. See Zimmern, Busspsalmen, pp. 60, 61. Cylinder A, cols. iv. and v. Amiaud read the name Nirba.

A few times I have seen men dance in the center of the circle somewhat as the women do, but with more movement, with a balancing and tilting of the body and especially of the arms, and with rapid trembling and quivering of the hands. The most spectacular dance is that of the man who dances in the circle brandishing a head-ax. He is shown in Pls.
Evidently they are believed to have some therapeutic virtue, but no statement could be obtained to substantiate this opinion. As is shown by Pls. CXLVIII and CXLIX, the tattoo of both Banawi men and women seems to spring from a different form than does the Bontoc tattoo. It appears to be a leaf, or a fern frond, but I know nothing of its origin or meaning.

It will be noticed that the eye is the most constant feature about which the rest of the pattern is commonly centred; but that the eye also disappears from some of the most conventionalised.
I.e., of the palace. I.e., upon one's enemies. Isaiah, lviii. 13. Meat, just as wine, was considered at all times a symbol of joy in the Orient. Perhaps also the 24th. V Rawlinson, pls. 48, 49. The plural is used, but in a collective sense. The Euphrates or Tigris is no doubt meant. IIIR. 52, no. 3, reverse.
