No Dagoi bullroarer name is recorded; Dagu is the residents' name for the village and people
In the Sepa villages near Bogia every clan kept a pair of bamboo flutes, a longer male and a shorter female, and the village as a whole shared one bullroarer. Dagoi, a Pay-speaking village east of Bogia, made do with the bullroarer alone.
Dagoi hat keine Bambusflöte, sondern nur ein Schwirrholz.
Dagoi has no bamboo flute but only a bullroarer.
