Her second husband was Abu Tinggang the son of Petara Semarugah (god who have authority on all land).

Ci.2 Jelenggai was a Sumatran ancestor. He was a sailor and an adventurer.

Ci.3 Selamuda married Dayang Manis Muka, the daughter of the Boar Chief of the animal Spirit world. They begot Begeri who learned how to use pig liver to discern the future fate of human being during festivals, such as mudas, when farmers seek indication regarding omen heard during the clearing season of the year. His descendant is still using this tradition nowadays.

His grandson Bunyau was the father of Panglima Bakir and the brother of Maoh who were the first Saribas Iban Chief to colloborate with the Government of James Brooke in building a fort at Betong in 1858. This unwelcomed action angered Ajie, Nanang & Luyoh (sons of OKP Dana “Bayang” of Padeh) and resulted in hatred among them and this led to the later’s attack on the Fort and Ajie’s death at Sungai Langit.
