 In some variants, the claimant can lick the spoon before the defendant in a bid to worry the defendant (This rare variant is practiced by the Armilat Bedouin).The Mubesha then counts worry beads (possibly prayer beads), and after a suitable lapse of time, inspects the tongue of the person undergoing the ritual.He decides whether or not the tongue is burnt (or the degree of the burn in some cases), and relates his decision to the assembly.
