Pledge-in-silence (Term)

A Householding ritual.
From: Unto Zeor, Forever, Ch 20. 'Im'ran wanted to gather up their tools and head right back to the house. But Digen made him pause, saying,"We can't offer them burial in Zeor, but I'd like to observe our pledge-in-silence, anyway. Stay with me?"
He sensed that Im'ran wanted badly to say something important, but the Gen only nodded and stood back while Digen performed the one Zeor rite he could extend. It was the first time in his life he had performed that rite in which it seemed to have some piercing inner meaning.'
(Source:  Index card file.  Unto Zeor, Forever)  A Zeor rite of some kind --- Digen observes it over the grave of Joel and Skip.  Feels this is first time it seemed to have some piercing inner meaning for him.
