Because Yayam comes from Bebdeben, the opportunity was taken to interview her with her countrymen present, getting her to tell the story of how her son captured a young wild pig for them to raise. Interviewed by Tano. Very lively interview and story, first in Nambu, then in Nen. Video recordist: Jimmy Nébni. Interview in front of their pig pen. During (initial) Nambu version, she occasionally lapsed into Nen but each time was urged to stick to Nambu by the audience. Intersting because of the way she has quite different relisations of questions vs kw as between Nen and Nambu. Also lots of interesting questions and answers about pigs. This is a short interview made by the Kiembtuwirer subcommittee of the Nen language committee, under Nick Evans' supervision. The Kiembtuwirer subcommittee comprises Warapa Wlila, Sarao, Rusien Aniba, and Fasawar. Jimmy Nébni was also present. People present: Fasawr, Rusien, Jimmy Nébni, Michael Binzawa, Warapa. Because Eri Kashima and some member of the Nmbu language committee were visiting, as well as four speakers of Nambo, the opportunity was taken to record extra material on these language, deviating from the regular schedule.
