GH2-lev_070418 - Rice Harvest Lunch (Oikos): Yau Sauke

The Yau Sauke harvest song. A common song which recites names and achievement of war heroes. Discussion held over lunch at the garden during a communal rice harvest. The harvest is done by a group known as an 'oikos', with a tithe from the harvest being donated to the church in the name of this particular oikos. The discussion centers on the payment for this harvest and on plans for the next oikos work party. However, there is a certain ritual flavor to the discussion, as such a conversation is traditionally held at the completion of the harvest lunch, just as the tuak, betel, and tobacco are passed around..

《尤绍科丰收歌》是一首传颂战争英雄姓名与功绩的常见歌谣。该讨论开展于集体水稻收割季期间的庭院午餐时段。本次收割由被称为"宗族社群（oikos）"的团体完成，收割所得的十分之一收成将以该特定社群的名义捐赠至教堂。本次讨论的核心议题为本次收割的酬劳分配，以及下一次社群劳作聚会的计划安排。不过，这场讨论带有鲜明的仪式色彩——按照传统，这类对话会在收割季午餐结束之际展开，此时众人正互相传递图阿克米酒（tuak）、槟榔（betel）与烟草。所用语言说明如下：
