(There is no orientation of the corpse. Formerly the head was placed on a block of adobe.~) The aunt (ky'uu) of the deceased is also summoned. (If the deceased have no kyunin the Corn chief will appoint a woman assistant to perform the proper functions.) With her she brings a bowl of water and cotton and a twig brush. She brushes the hair of the deceased, washes~ and dries the face. The water she has used may not be thrown outside the door.
