Rihana: Hetiha: Sehahuzu 5A-6A

NOTE; This is the Rihana-ye text which covers approximately the material in
the Kushy Yemu items 5 and 6.  It is not so much a translation as a summary
which is primarily concerned with Item 6. The episode is based roughly on a story
told of both a Viking leader and a Norman leader in Italy IIRC, though in
those stories the "death" was purely a ruse.
