Description
On the day Amarlai's new cousin is named, the guests arrive, prayers are said, the corn wine is blessed, and a tiny drop of wine is put on the baby's tongue as she is named. Gifts are offered, and the feasting and dancing begins. Amarlai is happiest of all as at last his cousin has a name - Dede!
