Maren Uk / Hipui

The engagement tokens for this class are similar to the Maren. However, the types of beads used are the lukut ma' and lukut selibo strung together with the yellow lavang totalling six beads. Other items are also similar but in substitution for the tawak in a Maren wedding, a different brass gong called agung which is shallow with a flat surface and a small knob is used in a Maren Uk wedding. For this class, the number of feathers on the lavung dok headgear is four. As for the sarongs, six would be the appropriate number.
