For the next six days I privately wondered what【32】to use in such a ceremony. Gradually the words【33】me. By the time we arrived in Cairo, I was ready.

In the dream I remembered that the son was oiled, as it【36】, with a dry substance. I took this to mean that powder【37】 oil was used. But what powder?
