The place where Nyalow went to marry was accustomed to delivering babies by cutting open the mother’s belly.

姆普基（Mpukey）：一座坐落于佩雷（Pere）以南海岸外小岛群上的马努斯泰坦（Manus Titan）村落，距佩雷以西约10英里。内容分为五个部分：一、纳波与恩亚英盖伊（Napo and Nyayingey）；二、蒂利普威斯（Tyilipwis）的故事；三、抵达姆普基的历程；四、海啸传说；五、姆普基SIL词表（SIL list）。

【盒内标注笔记】：一场姆布克-比皮（Mbuke-Bipi）族群的争斗。TP/PE（TP即本土语（tok ples），PE即皮钦英语（Pidgin English）；双人同步录音带采用逐句交替的方式，完成从本土语到皮钦英语的翻译）；关于马努斯分裂的访谈；一场前往姆布克的惩罚性远征，TP/PE；自然分娩的神话传说，TP/PE；庞蓬与桑拿（Ponpon and Sauna）：因羞愧而死的兄弟——Singsing（皮钦英语词汇，泛指歌唱，亦可指代舞蹈或庆典）；enrilank（一种哭喊、挽歌、悼歌，如为逝者所作的纪念歌谣）；第二份内容为摔断腿的男孩的相关enrilank记录。第一部分以TS采集姆普基-泰坦词表与语法样本收尾。我在一次电脑死机事件中丢失了这盘磁带的全部索引笔记，需重新录制，但目前我将继续推进第二部分内容的整理。

【转录内容】：将本磁带的最后部分转录为独立文件。乌南金雷·恩亚洛（Unankinray Nyalow）：恩亚洛是姆普基的一名女孩，当时身处mamanra（月经小屋）中。一名来自大陆的男子寄来魔法原木，将她接走作为第二任妻子迎娶。恩亚洛将婴儿的粪便作为信使，送往她在姆普基的父亲？内容围绕姆普瓦罗（Mpwarow）展开，故事充满魔法元素。恩亚洛的母亲制造了暴雨与风暴，多处叙事存在留白。故事至此结束，片段虽零散却颇具趣味，内容清晰易懂。恩亚洛成婚之地的接生习俗为剖开产妇腹部，恩亚洛躲藏起来并自然分娩，该地民众因此了解了自然分娩方式。姆普基的恩亚库普文（Nyakupwen）讲述了庞蓬与其母亲的故事：她为儿子制作了一支渔矛，其中包含歌唱副歌。Pasim ai指母亲制作单尖渔矛的过程，译员在翻译歌唱副歌时遇到困难。渔矛从双尖（对应双尾鱼）逐步增至十尖。庞蓬的妻子名叫赛娜（Saina），她并未回应庞蓬的歌唱。庞蓬发现她已身亡，便用十根木棍击打她，将其复活。她的死因是丈夫的兄弟前来与其发生性关系，该兄弟羞愧难当，逃往丛林并最终殒命。一份姆普基enrilank（一种歌曲、哭喊、挽歌——典型的泰坦式哭喊），时长极长、音质清晰、演唱精良。另有一份由同一位歌手演唱的enrilank，同样时长极长。我或许存有这些录音的相关笔记，但若无田野现场翻译，这些录音则毫无使用价值。
