9957: Re: 9924: English Translation (fwd)
From: Moibibi@aol.com
Jean,
You are probably speaking about the "desounen" which consists in removing
one's lwa from its corporal wrapping.
I don't know the exact english translation, just the original word in
"langaj" which is as I wrote above: "desounen". The word comes from the
Fongbe language of Benin where "desouni" means the person for whom the
"desou" was made, "desou" meaning the "funeral sacrifices".
Hope it can help!
