The raconteur does not care whether her co-wife is alive and in good condition or not, her aim is to live longer than her co-wife.  She is not afraid to speak out her wish, which she knows is not welcome by the other party.  In each context of verbal arts in health-related issues, there are an addresser (encoder), a message (code) and an addressee (decoder).  The addresser conveys message(s) to the addressee.   Addresser  Message  Addressee   The addressee depends on the type of verbal art being discussed.  The addressers in orin-bo ? (Liturgical songs), b (homage).  O ? f ? (incantations), yj ? (myth-like incantations), wre (supplicatory blessings), p (curse), ? b ? (propitiation) and orin-bej (twin babies’ songs) are usually elderly persons or those who are spiritually inclined while the addresses are the supernatural agents who are in the position to make the wishes of the addresser(s) realistic.  The message(s) of any context is/are the wishes of the addresser(s) which depends on what each addresser wants to acquire from the supernatural agent, though it is obvious that the message from the addresser(s) is to boost the health of the target, regardless of how he or she gets the request.
