This term translates along the line of, “Ask and it shall be given unto you.”
In our culture it is very important that you ask permission from the appropriate people before you take something. For example, you must ask the dugong clan leader before spearing dugong for ceremonies or the events of neighbouring tribes. To marry into another family you as a young man would have to talk to your Wadhuam (uncle). You must ask before you break fruits, such as coconuts, from certain trees of other family members.
It also extends to the use of any intellectual property of associated clans or tribes.
