Furthermore, in data collection using a literature review technique, which goes through the stages of determining the text, reading, identifying, recording, describing, and concluding, observing, conducting documentation techniques, and conducting interviews.

Verbal symbols contained in the Tinilo Paita script and nonverbal symbols are found in a set of tools used in the traditional Tinilo Pa'ita ceremony.
