In the Dayak Kanayatn community of West Kalimantan, the basuayak death ritual includes two main bajampi processes that use specific plants to heal grief, dispel nightmares, and appease spirits. Six plants—malakng, jinyalo, tamparengat, porakng, daukng jarikng, and daukng bintawa’ tuha—are employed, along with kalimabo and rinyuakng leaves soaked in hot water. Ritual language and material culture embody ecological wisdom and cosmological balance, contributing to the preservation of endangered ritual languages.
