Notes

KGT p. 77. Perhaps the most important type of song is the may' bom, literally"battle song," which commemorates famous battles and heroic exploits. It isnever inappropriate to burst into song (there is a special verb for this: wup)and sing a may' bom. At any social gathering, in addition to eating anddrinking, there is no question that there will also be singing.
