Note 203 — 25

When the spirits arrived in Kaodanan the old woman Alokotán arrived also. As soon as she arrived she went at once where Linongan was lying. “Ala, you Aponībolinayen and Awig this is your pay, for although you have only one daughter you sent her to the mountain field,” said the old woman Alokotán to them. Awig and Aponībolinayen did not answer for they were ashamed. When the old woman had finished to talk to them she put saliva around the cut on Linongan and caused it to join. When she finished joining it, “I use my power so that when I snap my perfume203 which is called dagimonau (‘to wake up’) she will wake up at once.” When she snapped her perfume Linongan woke up at once. “I use my power so that when I use my perfume alīkadakad (sound of walking or moving) she will at once make a movement.” When she snapped her perfume Linongan moved at once. “I use my power so when I snap my perfume banawᴇs she will blow out her breath!” When she snapped her perfume, she at once breathed a long breath. “Wes how terrible my sleep was,” said Page 158Linongan. “‘How terrible my sleep’ you say. The tattooed alzados nearly inherited you. I went to follow you because they took you to their town and they danced with your head,” said Awig.
