The traditional elders and noble relatives then take part in a "sujud" (sungkem) ceremony in which they all prostrate. As a sign of the "compound compound", Mekhanai begins by massaging the grandparents, signifying that they have been considered members of the Muli family's great circle.

In addition, after surrender, the two families discuss what steps will be taken to resolve the dispute, including conditions imposed by the guardian or respectable family.

Establishing friendship is one example of these values (Memui Nyimah).
