Abstract

When the meat from ram’s shoulder was eaten, people used the shoulder blade for divination. Each protuberance had its meaning. Knowledgeable people would tell something by looking at them. I don’t know that. Then the head of the shoulder should be broken off in a special way. It was usually done by a man and if he did it he was regarded as wise, strong and powerful.
