Kusiyanitsa pakati pa chikhumbo cha mzimu wa munthu wakufa yemwe anali wonyansa kwambiri ndi wina yemwe anali Paphian hedonist si kusiyana kwa mtundu wa chikhumbo, koma kusiyana kwa khalidwe lake ndi njira yake. Mawonekedwewo amasonyeza khalidwe la mzimu wolakalaka, kayendetsedwe kake kachitidwe. Kugonana monga limodzi mwa magulu atatu a chikhumbo cha mizimu ya anthu akufa, ndi chikhalidwe cha chilakolako. Zinyama zotere monga nkhumba, ng'ombe, njoka, zimasonyeza mwa mawonekedwe awo khalidwe la kugonana lomwe linali chikhumbo cholamulira pa moyo. Mayendedwe a mzimu wolakalaka amasiyanitsa kukhudzika kwake kukhala kosalala, kapena koyengedwa ndi kokongola.

M'mbuyomu, chikhumbo cha njoka chamizimu cha anthu akufa chachititsa ndi kupititsa patsogolo mchitidwe wachiwerewere, wotchedwa miyambo yopatulika kapena yachinsinsi; ndipo akupitiriza kutero lero, ndipo adzachita zimenezo m’nthaŵi zamtsogolo, kufikira munthu adzadziŵa chimene chiri chikhalidwe chake, ndi kukana kuti icho chizilamuliridwa ndi mphamvu zimene ziri kunja kwa iye mwini. Izi amachita poyesa kudzilamulira.

Zomwe zimanenedwa ponena za chikhumbo cha mizimu ya akufa, monga mawonekedwe awo ndi khalidwe lawo pokhudzana ndi chiwerewere, ziyenera kugwiritsidwanso ntchito ku mizu ina iwiri ya chilakolako, nkhanza ndi umbombo, kupatulapo kuti sikunganene kuti pali epicure mu umbombo. Mbiri yakale imasonyeza nkhanza zomwe zinkachitidwa ngati luso lapamwamba, kumene luso linaperekedwa kuti liyeretse chizunzocho ndi kusinthasintha zida zozunzirako kuti ululu wa wozunzidwayo ukhale wautali ndi wokulirapo. Kumene nkhanza zimasamalidwa ndikutengedwa ngati phunziro lophunzirira ndi kuchitidwa, mphaka wokhumba mzimu wa akufa amakhala ndi malo ake, kapena akuyendayenda mozungulira kapena mkati mwa thupi la munthu wamoyo. Imathamanga ndi mathalauza ndikudikirira mwayi wake wozunzidwa ndi mawu kapena zochita.

Koma chikhumbo mizukwa ya anthu akufa omwe ali a chikhalidwe cha umbombo, samasamala momwe chinthu chadyeracho chimatetezedwa kapena momwe chimachitidwira. Chisamaliro chokha ndikuti chinthu chomwe akufuna chikhale chotetezedwa. Munthu wamoyo amadya nkhani ya umbombo wake, ndipo chikhumbo chake chimadyetsa nkhandwe yosakhuta kapena mzukwa wina wa akufa.

Amuna ena amaoneka kuti ali ndi nzeru zachibadwa zopezera; ndipo kawirikawiri amapeza, zomwe amazifuna. Amawoneka kuti ali ndi chidwi chambiri chofuna ndi zosowa ndi zomwe ziti zichitike; kapena anthu akuwoneka kuti akuyenda ndikugwidwa ndi misampha yawo. Mphamvu zawo zonse zimagwiritsidwa ntchito ndikuchita mwachangu kuti apeze nyama zawo, ndipo zomwe sizinapangire okha nthawi zambiri zimawoneka ngati zikuwakomera.
