One man came from each tribe. As we were jumping, some of us put forward their foot (they did not have their feet even, on the same line, as is required in jumping competition). They were told: “Stop jumping! If anybody does not perform it in a proper way, he should step aside on his own and he should not go down to the open place (where the jumping took place)”’ (Bulakh 2024:202)

In the last (third) jump he saw he wouldn’t reach the mark, and he parted his feet. Then people said: “He wasted his chance. He has no more strength. But even if he hadn’t parted his feet, he wouldn’t have reached the mark”’ (CSOL III 13:3)
