Benjamin asked Abur to tell him everything he knows about ʔalʉj Səlamad, and Abur talks about where the cult began. Abur does not follow the religion himself. His wife and one son are Christian, his daughter is Muslim, and he and the other son are sceptical of religion but do take part in traditional ceremonies. Jabbar bin Salleh - Abur's Malay name. A very brief note about the recording session is found on p.111 of Notebook 12.
