on the ground to attract the spirits to the food served on the talafntap. 



Igam : Notched feathers, often with colored yarn at the ends, at- 

 tached to sticks. These are worn in the hair during the Pala-an and 

 Sayang ceremonies, to please the spirits of the east, called ldadaya. 



In also n : A sacred blanket made of white cotton. A blue or blue 

 and red design is formed, where the breadths join, and also along the 

 borders. It is worn over the shoulders of the medium during the 

 Glpas ceremony (cf. p. 263). 



Lab-labon : Also called Adug. In Buneg and nearby towns, whose 

 inhabitants are of mixed Tinguian and Kalinga blood, small incised 

 pottery houses are found among the rice jars, and are said to be (he 

 residences of the spirits, who multiply the rice. They are sometimes 

 replaced with incised jars decorated with vines. The idea seems to 

 be an intrusion into the Tinguian belt. The name is probably derived 

 from labon, "plenty" r "abundance" (Plate XXIX). 



Piling (Plate XIX) : A collection of large sea-shells attached 

 to cords. They are kept in a small basket together with one hundred 

 fathoms of thread and a Chinese plate, usually of ancient make. The 

 whole makes up the medium's outfit, used when she is summoning the 

 spirits. 



PInapa: A large silk blanket with yellow strips running lengthwise. 

 Such blankets are worn by certain women when dancing da-cng, and 

 they are also placed over the feet of a corpse. 



Sado (Fig. 4, No. 3) : The shallow clay dishes in which the spirits 

 are fed on the talapltap. 



Salogeygey : The outside bark of a reed is cut at two points, from 

 opposite directions, so that a double fringe of narrow strips stands out. 

 One end is split, saklag leaves are inserted, and the whole is dipped 

 or sprinkled in sacrificial blood, and placed in each house during the 

 Sagobay ceremony. The same name is applied to the magical sticks, 

 which are placed in the rice seed-beds to insure lusty plants (cf. p. 399). 



Sangadel: The bamboo frame on which a corpse is placed during 

 the funeral. 



Tabing: A large white blanket with which one corner of the room 

 is screened off during the Sayang and other ceremonies. In this "room" 

 food and other offerings are made for the black, deformed, and timid 

 spirits who wish to attend the ceremony unobserved. 



Takal: Armlets made of boar's tusks, which are worn during 

 certain dances in Sayang.
