 This is the name of the burial mound and the nine-month long ceremony that accompanies it.Before a bung'ed is accorded to an elder (sometimes, but rarely a woman), his clan meet to discuss whether he qualifies by having lived a moral life, had many wives and children, possessed many cattle, and commanded authority through oratory, displayed brave deeds and shown wise judgement.If deemed so, he is buried naked, seated, facing east and a mound build up over the corpse.
