Ogma-al-alukuyoy ka mgo buyag tongod ko du-on mgo lupuganon The leaders are having a discussion about whether there will be [eventual] ||breciprocal exhanges for a brideprice|r Ka sika lupuganon, ko niggastu ka koddì to nigpangasawa, ko ogkalugoy on no du-on og-asawa to anak ku, ig-ulì ku koykow ka pogbulig nu kanak. As for that reciprocation [custom], if, when I got married, you paid for my brideprice, [then] when after a long time someone will marry my daughter (lit. offspring), I will return to you [the amount] you used to help me. [It is culturally appropriate for the family of the groom to pay a brideprice to the family of the bride. If later, if a male member of the family who received a brideprice desires to marry someone from the family who previously paid a brideprice may reciprocate either by reducing or considering that the requirements for a brideprice have already been met.]
