English translation: Orkiloriti is a medicine that is similar to Osiyamali but is available only in the mountains. The root of this plant is used, and the pods have seeds. When the warriors are in the forest and can only eat meat, they don’t drink any water or tea or soda. Instead, they drink the water of that tree, which is very hard to extract. But when extracted, it can strengthen the bone. The medicine of olkilorit helps the bone grow and makes the warriors very strong and heavy. After the warriors drink for a long time, they are so large and strong they sound like giraffes stomping on the ground. It is lucky that these warriors drink this medicine, because they can police other Maasai who may become drunk and want to engage in fistfights. But they cannot compete with the warrior because he is powerful and his bones are strong thanks to this plant. 

Recording 2: Maasai translation: ashe oleng’ kaaji lomayan leaseki, kiata archani oji engiloriti, ore engiloriti naa sidan amu ewoki ingabobok enye aowokie shai, neyeri kulo matunda lenyena enakata enyori aayerunye engare tukul niok akeduo amu archani aisafisha engohoke pookin tosesen, kake ore sii irmatunda lenyena nenya indare naleng … irkilorit… nenye indare naleng’ .. metaa archani oleng’.

Swahili translation: Asante sana'naitwa lomayan leaseki ,tuko na miti inaitwa engiloriti,Engiloriti ni nzuri sababu maganda yake inakunyiwa chai,matunda yake inapikwa wakati ikiwa majani mabichi kuchemsha na maji kabisa na inaosha tumbo na mwili zingine zote,matunda pia inakuliwa na kondoo kabisa..ni dawa kabisa'.

English translation: My name is Lomayan Leaseki. Here we have trees we call Engiloriti. Engiloriti is good because its seed pods are used for tea. When the leaves are clean, the fruits can also be cooked by boiling them with water. When they are boiled it cleans the stomach and the rest of the body from toxins. The fruit is also eaten by sheep. It’s a very good medicine.
