The Earthquake : Beliefs and Practices in the Central Highlands, New Guinea 171 steady. From the hole comes a sound like that of a flute. After an earthquake the guardian of the hole runs into his garden where he finds the excrements of the Mondono. He covers them with grass and cooks some rats and birds nearby. Having eaten these, he collects the Mondono’s excrements, which are °f a very white colour. He puts them into a bamboo tube, being very careful with them. If only a little of them falls on the earth, the latter will break a nd slide downhill. The old man sells these Mondono excrements for money, a Pig and other valuable things. - When the Mondono comes out of its hole, it eats tizai vegetables, swallowing the juice of them, and spitting out the remainder. This is also collected and sold by the old man who watches over the Mondono’s hole. - The beast’s excrements and the chewed remains of the tizai vegetables are given to the male pigs, which causes them to become ver} iat. If sows eat the stuff, they will lose their fertility. - The hole through which the Mondono appears, is called Mondono apoa the mouth of the Mondono”. (Reported by Anggiva.) gegeru The earthquake-causing animal of Yandara is called Imimi or Mondono. before giving the pie's cooked sweet Dotatoes on which Imimi crcva excre- m ents of the Imitni" have been strewn, the women will say : Imimi pingga Pingga! “Imimi, shake, shake ! - There is a myth connected with the Imimi animal: Once upon a time, two little boys went out to find some tuva insects (crickets) for their little pig. In the beginning the little pig followed them, ^ )u t later it disappeared in a cave in the ground. Now the two of them looked tur the pig but could not find it, as there was a maze of rooms and vaults under the earth. So they came out without the pig, which became the Mondono. - People are afraid of it, because it upsets the ground, but at the Sa me time they like it, because its excrements cause their pigs to grow fat. - buying a bride from Yandara requires a goodly number of pigs, because the ffirl is called Mondono yowo "mother of the Mondono”. If her husband does not give her many pigs, she will run away. Normally, he will give her pig s *wf to her fill. (Reported by Gaima.) duakai If an earthquake occurs, some people say : "Our big father (t omo namba) sh ilts the heavy things - a stone and a piece of wood - which he holds, from °ue hand to the other as his hand gets tired. This causes the ground to shake. s °me people say: "Our big father sends a pig which causes the earth to tr emble.’’ - Still others believe that Mondono is the mother pig who sends they play and turn over, which causes the erathquake. people rejoice and say : “Ax, ax, mbrrrr” 3 . This will u., twu this happens people rejoice and say caus e their own pigs to grow fast, especially if the Mondono ereva are given 1 them. : ! * hese are the sounds with which people call their pigs. 1 he x is pronounced like ch 11 German ach.
