Kayao ih tubuk gak dawak liko, selalu anagai bei den gak lisi sungai. A liko menibah ien "tebawan" tapi ako debei tao uno ngadan saintifik ataupun ngadan Melayu atau English nyin. Daun kayao ih nebak a liko petemuk. Mun kenusut daun ih bei jatak unah wak wangi bun. Tapi ako debei rapa suka madak buyak bun unah ubat bun.
A liko selalu migek daun muda bak petemuk. A liko (pagan) wak dibei agama pebak daun ih petemuk gak bayuh. Nu'ug gak biyeh masa petemuk. Mun lian bei a matai, pun a liko mesti pigek daun ih bak bak lien temuk bila lien ngak pulik kubo beh tekayan. Sui dengah bak mepit wak debei dao wak nigek keman kedau a matai. Ako pun sebenar nyin debei rapa sah, uno hal mesti bak temuk pebak daun ih mun pulik tekayan keman kedau a matai.
Jadi, mun dikaji secara saintifik, nau saji bei guna samalah aromatherapykah daun tebawan ih? Ako pun debei tao. Ien semuah agei misteri. Ako rasa kalik bei a botanist wak menak kajian pasal etnobotani belajer pasal wak ih. Kalik singenlah......

ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit and comments. Pardon me for not writing in melanau.
FYI tebawan is called Pokok Buas or Pokok Bebuas in Malay and the scientific name is Premma Cordiflora.
I liked to eat tebawan, but not as such.Loved to have it cooked in bubur pedas and in sayur buah labu. I used to observe that "Lady Bird" also love this plant.
It is fine for not writing in Melanau. My Melanau is not that good too especially in writing but i am trying.
ReplyDeleteMy mum prepare the cat fish salai with this Pokok Buas too and it taste nice.
