Note 11 — 3410

The spirit who lives in Dadaya11 lies in bed; he looks at his īgam12 and they are dull. He looks again, “Why are my īgam dull? Ala, let us go to Sudipán where the Tinguian live and let us take our īgam, so that some one may make them bright again.” After that they laid them (the īgam) on the house of the Īpogau13 and they are all sick who live in that house. Kaboniyan14 looked down on them. “Ala, I shall go down to the Īpogau.” He truly went down to them, “What is the matter with you?” “We are all sick who live in the same place,” said those sick ones. “That is true, and the cause of your sickness is that they (the spirits) laid down their īgam on you. It is best that you make Pala-an, since you have received their īgam, for that is the cause of your illness.” After that they made Pala-an and they recovered from their sickness, those who lived in the same place. (Here the medium calls the spirits of Dadaya by name and then continues.) “Now those who live in the same place make bright again those īgam which you left in their house. Make them well again, if you please.”
