Usage notes

  • The second example is drawn from the story of the Caiman Spirit (Yakaojokuma). In this story, the chief's two wives secretly have amorous encounters with a caiman spirit being. The chief and his men hear a rumor that this is going on, and wait in ambush to kill the chief's rival. From their hiding place in the underbrush, they are astonished to witness the caiman spirit appear in the form of a beautiful young man, as one of the women languorously slips off her loin belt in response.
