The word baina means "(it) is" and, it is only used for nonhuman references. For references such as "he is" and "she is", in Karažun we use the word hašti.

The following is the previous shamanic chant written in the hangeul style:

운니 엘루 밴나、
운니 엘루 밴나。
헨니 아 짤라 발람이 쎕베 밴나。
운니 낼라、운니 낼라、
낼라이 훌라。
운니 훌라만、
핀내 똔나만。

uni eru baina,
uni eru baina.
heni a žara baram i šebe baina.
uni naira, uni naira,
naira i hura.
uni hura man,
finai tona man.
