The belief is that the person's spirit is being enticed and drawn away by an anito. If it is not called back shortly, it will depart permanently. The following ceremony, called "ka-taol'," is said near the river, as the other is in the mountains: "A-li-ka' ta-en-ta-ko is a'-fong ta-ko' tay la-ting' is'-na." Freely translated this is: "Come, come with us into the house, because it is cold here."
The ceremony is simple. There is the usual ceremonial pig killing by the priest, and each night preceding the ceremony all the people cry: "I-teng'-ao ta-ko nan fa-kil'." This is only an exclamation, meaning, "Rest day! We observe the ceremony for rain!" I was informed that the priest has no separate oral petition or ceremony, though it is probable that he has. Kalob
