Ɩtsankɩ a, fapʋ yofwi ɩbɛ.If you want to make a torch, you split the central stalk of a palm branch into small pieces, removing and throwing away the core(which is soft). Then you dry the small pieces for three days (or so). When they are dry you gather them and tie them with the new leaves of a palm tree so that they go into the hole in the felled palm tree. You put one end of it in the fire to catch fire and then you put it into the hole to smoke the tree (so that the wine ferments).8.3.3.1.1Light source
