In my presence an Igorot once told a member of ato Ungkan that the men of his ato were like girls, because they had not taken heads. The statement was false, but the pronounced judgment sincere.
If an eagle flies over the path, many houses will burn. Two years ago an eagle warned the people, and in the middle of the day fifty or more houses burned in Bontoc in the three ato of Pokisan, Luwakan, and Ungkan. If none of these calamities are foretold, the anito enemies of Bontoc are not revengeful, and the pueblo rests in contentment. Suwat
Unlike the fawi and pabafunan, the o'-lag has no adjoining court, and no shady surroundings. It is built to house the occupants only at night. The o'-lag is not so distinctly an ato institution as the pabafunan and fawi. Ato Ungkan never had an o'-lag. The demand is not so urgent as that of some ato, since there are only thirteen families in Ungkan. The girls occupy o'-lag of neighboring ato.
