74 Traditions of the Tinguian 



Dangdangayan was glad and told the people about it, and he invited 

 them to go the next month to make pakdlon. 



As soon as the agreed month to go to Kadalayanpan came, they 

 went. As soon as they arrived there they danced for one month. Lingi- 

 wan and Aponlbolinayen had their golden house, which the alan had 

 given them. The people agreed on how much they should pay for the 

 pakdlon, and Pagatipanan and Langa-an said, "Pay just the same as we 

 paid for Aponlbolinayen when Linglwan married her." " If that is what 

 you say, it is all right," they said. And Ebang used magic so that the 

 balaua was five times full of jars which are malayo, tadogan, and ginlasan. 

 So the balaua was filled five times, and each of the relatives who went to 

 attend the pakdlon took some jars. As soon as the pakdlon was finished 

 the people all went home, and Pagbokasan and Ebang said, "Ala, now 

 that the pakdlon is over let us take Aponlgawani," Langa-an answered, 

 "If you make extra payment you can take Aponlgawani now," and 

 Dangdangayan said to his mother, "If they want the extra payment, 

 ask them how much. ' ' Langa-an replied, ' ' Another five times the balaua 

 full," and Ebang said to her son, "We have to pay again the balaua 

 five times full." "That is all right mother I have many jars which my 

 alan mother gave me," so they gave the extra jars which they asked. As 

 soon as they gave all the jars they took Aponlgawani of Kaodanan with 

 them. As soon as they arrived they made a big party, and they invited 

 the alan. As soon as the alan arrived at the party they danced and gave 

 more presents to them. After that the alan and the other people went 

 home and Aponlgawani and Dangdangayan had their own house which 

 the alan gave them. This is all. 



(Told by Lagmani of Patok.) 



Aponltolau told Aponlbolinayen that they would go to the river to 

 wash their hair. Not long after Aponlbolinayen went with him. When 

 they arrived at the spring they washed their hair. As soon as they washed 

 their hair they went to get the lawed l vine and they went back home. 

 As soon as they reached home Aponltolau said to Aponlbolinayen, "Will 

 you comb my hair? I am anxious to go to fight." So Aponlbolinayen 

 combed his hair. As soon as she combed it he said, "Ala, you go and 

 get my clout, my belt which is sewed with gold, and my striped coat, and 

 also get my ambosau? Aponlbolinayen got them and Aponltolau dressed 

 up. As soon as he was dressed he took his shield, his headaxe, and spear,
