Once the Tanoa is empty and the herald sees it fit to end the drinking session and not to mix again, he will signal to the mixer, who will then say: “Qai maca saka tu na Yaqona Vakaturaga” (respectfully to you all, the chiefly Yaqona is finished).
When Tanoa is depleted and the chief herald determines it's time to stop the communal drinking and separate the beverages again, he will signal to the designated person, who will then announce: “With respect to all of you, the sacred Yaqona has been exhausted.”
