Husband, a married man, whose wife is alive; to take a husband, to join a man in wedlock. Sín-o man ang banáhon mo? Whom then are you going to marry? Ayáw pagbanáha ang isá ka laláki nga walâ sing pagtóo. Beware of marrying a man without faith. Kon magbána ka, pilíon mo ang isá ka laláki nga maáyo sing pamatásan. If you marry, choose a man of good behaviour. Indì ka magpabána sang ímo anák sa isá ka laláki nga matámad. Don't give your daughter in marriage to a lazy fellow. (see pamána, pangasáwa, asáwa-wife).
