Note 190 — 22

When Gamayawán arrived in her town of Magsiliwan: “You alan who live with me, look at my toy which I found by the river,” she said, and was very happy, and the alan truly looked at it and it was the balangat of Līgī, and they all laughed. “What are you laughing for?” said Gamayawán to them? “We laugh because we are happy, because it is beautiful,” said the alan. Not long after Gamayawán had a baby. Not long after she gave birth. “What are we going to do? I am about to give birth to a child,” she said. “The best thing for us to do is for us to get a thorn and stick your little finger.” So they truly stuck her finger, and the little baby popped out like popped corn.190 “What are we going to name it?” they said. “The best name is Galinginayen, for it is the name of the ancestor of the people who live in Kadalayapan,” said the alan. Gamayawán gave him a bath and he grew about one span, for she used her magic. Not long after the baby was large, for she always used her magic when she bathed him.191 Not long after the baby could fly.
