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.

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 Sinogyaman and Indiapan, and he went back home, and he said to them, "Do not be afraid to stay, for no one can see you here, where I have put you, and if anyone tries to come here the crocodiles will eat 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 long after he put his headaxe on the water and he rode on it, for he used magic, and his headaxe floated and went to the other side of the ocean. As
