enyupal

children's game formerly played at Sipayik in which players throw a ball back and forth over the roof of a house so that it rolls down the far side; if an opposing player catches the ball before it hits the ground, s/he can come around and chase and try to hit the person who threw the ball; if s/he is successful, then the one who gets hit must throw the ball again; the thrower shouts, "Enyupal!" when throwing the ball; if the ball fails to go over, the thrower shouts, "Katekon!"
