Although, the blessing poem is thrummed and the ritual is performed to the first bone of sacral vertebra, so the end bone of sacral vertebra has also its blessing poem and ritual performs. For instance, when broken the end bone of sacral vertebra of herds, we ask the question as “Can I broke?” and finally answered as “Yes” and “I want to know you are tell lie or not”. If the joint of end bone of sacral vertebra can be found quickly, “You are good at telling lie”. If you can’t find the joint — “You are not good at telling lie”.
