I hope everyone is healthy and safe.  Here's my question for this morning from the song Orekiil:  e ngak a mo merorael  er a tebetab el mengerengekl a oiloled me a kingelled el ngara Orekiil.  Any ideas on "mengerengekl"?  It is written this way in 5 songbooks.

Hi.

I asked an uncle and here's a translation of his explanation: when you walk about looking around.

Makes sense in this context. This person is walking around at a hang out spot (Orekiil) looking around at what used to be their specific spots and where they sat in Orekiil.

On another note, Jim, I was wondering if you have the lyrics to Did ra Sechou. If you do, could you please email them to me at jlukesemiwo@gmail.com?

Mesulang.

:)
