When he is ready to guess he extends both arms toward the bunch he has fixed upon, as if to grasp it.

At this action the holder of the reeds must open his hand and let the reeds of that bundle fall on the mat.

The guesser then searches among the spilled reeds for the one that is marked; if he finds it, he holds it up so that all can see that his guess has been correct and the reed discovered.

The two singers who stand behind him give the victory shout, go to his pile of counters, take one and place it at his right hand, then the reeds of the other bunch are thrown by the holder on the mat, so that all the game-reeds are lying in the center, as at the beginning of the game.
The player who made the successful guess now picks up the game-reeds and behind his back shuffles and divides them.

When he is ready to bring forward his two hands holding the reeds, the two singers standing behind him begin the Game Song, while he waves the bunches, acting what is now his role, that of the reeds being blown about by the winds.
