Reading edition
The association between the origin of the Andamanese and an ant’s nest (ko̱t) is retained in another legend, told by an Aka-J̌eru man. “Tarai (the south-west monsoon) was the first man. His wife was Ko̱t. They lived at Tarai-era-poŋ7. Their children were Tau (the sky), Bo̱to (wind), Piribi (storm), and Air (the foam on a rough sea).”
