  2. Killing and Wealth: Killing another person, although a grave act, was seen as a sign of wealth and honor in this context, indicating a complex understanding of moral actions and their potential outcomes.
  3. Blood and Profit: Bloodshed, whether from self-inflicted wounds or from harming others, was seen as a sign of profit or good fortune, possibly reflecting the belief in the transformative power of blood in certain rituals or symbolic contexts.
  4. Family Conflict: Conflict within the family was seen as a sign of dispersion or separation, indicating the importance of harmony within the household for overall well-being.
  5. Animal Slaughter: Slaughtering animals like pigs, chickens, and ducks was seen as a sign of good fortune or the arrival of feasts, reflecting the cultural significance of food and feasting in celebrations and rituals.
  6. Disrespect and Wealth: Being insulted or humiliated was paradoxically seen as a sign of gaining wealth, possibly indicating the belief that enduring hardship or disrespect could lead to eventual success.
