The t'i Prayer.
The general structure of the prayer of the most sacred dairy or ti is the same as that of the village dairy, but it follows more strictly a definite plan, consisting of sections composed respectively of kivarzam of the gods, of the buffaloes, and of the dairy. In some dairies kwarzam of one kind were of more importance and were recited at greater length ; in others, kwarzam of other kinds had greater prominence. The following prayer is that of the //belonging to the Kars clan, and is used at the chief dairy of the ti at Makars. In it the kivarzam of the gods and of the buffaloes predominate.
The prayer is recorded in the same manner as that of Kuudr, each kivarzam being followed by the word idith.
