English Translation
The nephew of an avenging spirit is carrion for vultures. Such a spirit torments the children and grandchildren of the one who killed, and many of them die badly — some in the bush where no one buries them and wild animals devour the bodies.
Cultural Context
“Invoked in connection with the descendants of a murderer, who are believed to suffer unnatural deaths at the hands of the avenging spirit.”
