Rihana: Hetiha: Sehahuzu 7A

NOTE: This is grouped with the Sehahuzu material because it concerns Diwibira
(Small Whirlwind)the son of Sehahuzu/Yawalira. I number it 7A because it only
exists
(as far as I am aware as of now) in Rihana-ye, not in Kushy Yemu.
LANGUAGE NOTE:  The inserted expressions "Roihana-ye tiha" and "tiha-ba-fe"
alter the meaning of the text significantly; with these insertions it is
saying the Rihana-ye rulers are doing badly and the rulers should be killed.
Without those insertions it would say that the Pihana-ye (Kushy) people who submit
to Rihana-ye rule are doing badly and should be killed.
