- Mansion verse
- Building under Girl harms women, while brothers turn on one another like tigers and wolves. Burial brings disaster, uncanny visitations, disturbed behavior, illness and fear of epidemics. Undertakings lead to official trouble and lost wealth, with unrelenting diarrhea. Opening a door or releasing water on this day disperses the family’s wealth and forces its head to leave home.
