On the battlefield itself individuals make extraordinary sacrifices:

• Iwa Manyanga (Mambwe, Zambia): to fight one another crawling along on all fours.
• Mamakakaua (Hawaiian): the leading man in battle who bears the brunt of the fighting.
• Ohiampunut (Finnish): one who has survived in battle (literally, shot/fired past).
• Abhi-vira (Sanskrit): surrounded by heroes.
