Many times I have seen the people shake—arms, legs, jaw, and body—during those cold days, and admit that I was touched by the ceremony when I saw it.
A hog is killed and each household gives Ang′-way a manojo of palay. He pleads to Lumawig: “Tum-ke′-ka ay li-fo′-o ta-a-ye′-o nan in sa-ma′-mi.” This prayer is: “No more cold and fog! Pity those working in the sementera!”
Ceremonies connected with head taking[1]
Kafokab
Ka-fo′-kab is the name of a ceremony performed as soon as a party of successful head-hunters returns home. The old man in charge at the fawi says: “Cha-kay′-yo fo′-so-mi ma-pay-ĭng′-an. Cha-kay′-mi ĭn-kĕd-se′-ka-mi nan ka-nĭn′-mi to-kom-ke′-ka.” This is an exultant boast—it is the crow of the winning cock. It runs as follows: “You, our enemies, we will always kill you! We are strong; the food we eat makes us strong!”
Changtu
There is a peculiar ceremony, called “chang′-tü,” performed now and then when i′-chu, the small omen bird, visits the pueblo.
