Suti Solo and Bina Bane are two sea-shells that furnish the title-personae of one of the most widely recited Rotinese origin chants. Torn from the depths of the sea by a storm and carried to the shore, the pair lament their separation from their watery origin; the chant is sung at mortuary rites, where the shells' parting from the sea figures the soul's departure from the living, and it is also attached to the origin of a ceremonial cloth. In parallel recitation the two names function as a single dyadic subject even as the shells are pictured as a matched pair.
