e they were dancing Aponitolau
went to cut off Awig's head. Not long after the women who never go
outdoors [192] went to bring Awig to life. As soon as they made him
alive again, Aponitolau gave the marriage price. It was nine times
full, the _balaua_, and when Aponibolnay raised up her elbow half of
it vanished, which was in the _balaua_. And Aponibolinayen used her
power and the _balaua_ was full again.
Not long after they chewed betel-nut and the quid of Langa-an and
Pagatipanan and the quids of Dagdagalisit went together, and the
quid of Pagbokasan and Ebang went to the quid of Aponibolinayen and
Awig, and Langa-an and Pagatipanan changed the name of Dagdagalisit
to Ligi. "Ala, now mother old _alan_ do not feel sorry, for we take
Aponitolau to Kadalayapan," said Langa-an. "Ala, yes, you take them,
take all my valuable things. If it were not for me, Aponitolau would
not be alive, for you Langa-an had a miscarriage and lost him, when
you went to wash your hair, so I picked him up, because I had no one
to inherit my possessions. Take all my things, so that Aponitolau and
his wife may own them." Not long after they went home and Awig took
all the payment for Aponibolinayen and all the _alan_ flew away. So
Awig and Aponitolau went to their towns.

used magic so that a big golden house stood in the middle of a wide
plain. In the yard were many betel-nut trees and a spring below the
trees. The gravel where the stream flowed was beads called _pagatpat_
and _kodla_, and the leaves and grass used to rub the inside of the
jars was a necklace of golden wire.
When the golden house, and betel-nuts, and spring had appeared,
Aponibalagen left an old woman with Aponibolinayen and Alama-an, and

them. You have everything you need." So he went home.
Ingiwan who lived in Kabilabilan went to take a walk. As soon as
he arrived at the ocean he wondered how he could get across. Not
