[cxcvi]Penawar Orang Darat
Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition
Skeat, Walter William
Sirih gunta, pinang gunta,
Memanjat kerakap puar;
Inchit nyah Hantu Jembalang Buta,
Tawar jampi nenek ’dah kaluar!
The ingredients are two or three leaves of sirih gunta, an areca-nut, black pepper, bawang merah, chĕkor, bunglei, lengkuas, brazil-wood (sepang), ebony (kayu arang), jerangau, and a porcupine quill (duri landak). Grate these and mix them well up together, and when there is a slight storm on (hari ribut kechil), take the mixture into the mouth and spit it out upon the patient. The only taboo mentioned is that neither cats nor fowls must be allowed to come in contact with the amulets of the patient (di-langgarkan tangkal-nya).
