The lightning, called "Yup-yup," is also a hog, and always accompanies Ki-cho'. Lumawig superintends the rains. Li-fo'-o are the rain clouds they are smoke. "At night Lumawig has the li-fo'-o come down to the river and get water. Before morning they have carried up a great deal of water; and then they let it come down as rain." Earthquakes are caused by Lumawig.
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."
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 Kafokab Ka-fo'-kab is the name of a ceremony performed as soon as a party of successful head-hunters returns home.
