3. When they arrive there they go in. (If there is another “kåta” close by, the girl often runs there so that she cannot hear anything.) The future bridegroom remains outside or goes to another “kåta”, if there is one. There are 2 or 3 spokesmen among them but one of them is the leader and he is called “Sugnooivi”. They sit down and, when the bridegroom’s father pours schnaps, her father asks him why he is giving him schnaps. “I have come here with good intentions. May God give us success, that is our intention”. If her father is reluctant to drink but nevertheless thanks them for the offer, all of them add their words of support. If he is not reluctant, they go out and fetch their pots and pans, silver etc. and put them on a reindeer hide in the “kata” in front of her father and mother. Either her father or her mother shares it all out – so much for the father, so much for the mother, so much for the daughter. If her mother does not consider it sufficient, she demands more and they often haggle for a long time before everyone has agreed. The parents often give everything back if they do not get as much as they want. If the gift is accepted, they and 2 of the girl’s relations go and fetch her. If the bride has a special friend or sister, the latter will be hugging her tight and wailing so much that the bridegroom’s mother has to give her some rings, brass rings and the like.
