ENGLISH
Before the introduction of matches fires were started using cain fa’i; sparking a chert stone (nelukala) against metal or another piece of bamboo to create sparks from friction. Nelukala stone is found in the stone of forested areas in Fataluku areas, reports Jose Antonio a cain fa'i maker. To use cain fa'i, nelukaka stone is wrapped with a piece of coconut fiber or the bark of the nipah palm tree to allow it to catch sparks. Fire is then fanned by moving the bark, and quickly transferred to another material to light fire. Dried coconut tree bark, easily combustible, is then used to light a fire. Older generations used to carry nelukaka stones in their bags everywhere, taking it to forests when hunting or fishing to be able to create fire where needed. Jose Antonio, who uses cain fa’i, reported that today people prefer matches or firelighters over traditional methods, for the ease.

BAHASA INDONESIA
Sebelum mengenal korek api, cain fa'i terlebih dahulu digunakan; memicu batu rijang (nelukala) terhadap logam atau sepotong bambu untuk membuat percikan api dari gesekan. Batu nelukala ditemukan di kawasan hutan batu di daerah Fataluku, ujar Jose Antonio pembuat cain fa'i. Untuk menggunakan cain fa'i, batu nelukaka dibungkus dengan sepotong serat kelapa atau kulit pohon nipah untuk menangkap bunga api. Api kemudian menyebar dengan menggerakkan kulit, dan cepat ditransfer ke bahan lain untuk api ringan. Pelepah kelapa kering yang mudah terbakar, kemudian digunakan untuk menyalakan api. Generasi yang lebih tua membawa batu nelukaka di tas mereka ke mana-mana, ke hutan ketika berburu atau memancing agar dapat membuat api ketika diperlukan. Jose Antonio, yang menggunakan cain fa'i, melaporkan bahwa saat ini orang lebih memilih korek atau pemantik api dari pada metode tradisional, untuk kemudahan.
