Tabing: A large white blanket with which one corner of the room is screened off during the Sayang and other ceremonies. In this "room" food and other offerings are made for the black, deformed, and timid spirits who wish to attend the ceremony unobserved. Takal: Armlets made of boar's tusks, which are worn during certain dances in Sayang.
Early the next morning, the medium goes to the house, and removing the jars and the bundle of decorated rice from the tabing, carries them to the family's rice granary, and places them in the center of that structure, covering them with six bundles of rice. This is an offering to the spirit residing there, and for the next five days the granary must not be opened.
When it appears that these ornaments need attention, the Idadaya will notify some family, either through a medium or by sending illness to them. One corner of the living room is screened off with a large white blanket called tabing, and behind it the medium places unthreshed rice and jars which she has decked with vines and leaves.
