LATERAL DEVELOPMENT, PHYSICAL MAN 43 



Let us now consider in this light the winds and 

 seasons and their effect upon wondering man. 



Lungu lu lubu, which I have translated as the very 

 depth of maternity among the winds, coincides with 

 the season Mwici 1 the " smokes," which the Bavili look 

 upon as the season during which the rains are being 

 prepared. Lungu lu lubu is beneficent and guards 

 the interests of the fishermen of Loango; and goes 

 forth to fight Xikamaci) the north wind, when she 

 comes along and tries to drive back the rain-bringing 

 south wind Bunzi. 



Lungu lu lubu we must look upon as the motive 

 creative power in space, the cause, and is in the place 

 f the Va Mu class. 



Then as coordinate intermediate causes connected 

 with the water and earth categories we have the words 



Moyo life, the actor (Mu Mi class), and 



Ta body, the instrument (Xi or Ki Bi or I class). 



The meeting place where the living man is made 

 is Menga or blood (E, Li, Di plural Ma class). 

 The singular of this noun is Enga, which freely 

 translated means " E " the place where the action is 

 performed connected with (Nga) or a matter previously 

 understood. 



Then we come to the definite manner in which the 

 creative act proceeded, which is a motion expressed by 

 the Bavili word Lutumu which means "direction," and 

 is of the Lu Tu class. 



1 Or more properly the season just before it, called Mawalala or 

 Revelation.
