There are seven of these men, and each has a distinct title. All are apparently of equal importance to the group. Le-yod', of ato Lowingan, whose title is "Ka-lob'," has charge of the ka-lob' ceremony held once or twice each year to allay the baguios. Ang'-way, of ato Somowan, whose title is "Chi-nam'-wi," presides over the chi-nam'-wi ceremony to drive away the cold and fog.
If this storm continues three or four days, Le-yod', of ato Lowingan, performs the following ceremony in his dwelling: "Ma-kis-kis'-kay li-fo'-o min-chi-kang'-ka ay fat-a'-wa ta-a'-yu nan fa'-ki lo-lo'-ta." A very free translation of this is as follows: "You fogs, rise up rolling. Let us have good weather in all the world! All the people are very poor."
