_Inálson_: A sacred blanket made of white cotton. A blue or blue and red design is formed, where the breadths join, and also along the borders. It is worn over the shoulders of the medium during the _Gipas_ ceremony (cf. p. 263). _Lab-labón_: Also called _Adug_. In Buneg and nearby towns, whose inhabitants are of mixed Tinguian and Kalinga blood, small incised pottery houses are found among the rice jars, and are said to be the residences of the spirits, who multiply the rice. They are sometimes replaced with incised jars decorated with vines. The idea seems to be an intrusion into the Tinguian belt. The name is probably derived from _lábon_, "plenty" or "abundance" (Plate XXIX). _Piling_ (Plate XIX): A collection of large sea-shells attached to cords. They are kept in a small basket together with one hundred fathoms of thread and a Chinese plate, usually of ancient make. The whole makes up the medium's outfit, used when she is summoning the spirits. _Pinapa_: A large silk blanket with yellow strips running lengthwise. Such blankets are worn by certain women when dancing _da-eng_, and they are also placed over the feet of a corpse. _Sado_ (Fig. 4, No. 3): The shallow clay dishes in which the spirits are fed on the _talapitap_. _Salogeygey_: The outside bark of a reed is cut at two points, from opposite directions, so that a double fringe of narrow strips stands out. One end is split, _saklag_ leaves are inserted, and the whole is dipped or sprinkled in sacrificial blood, and placed in each house during the _Sagobay_ ceremony. The same name is applied to the magical sticks, which are placed in the rice seed-beds to insure lusty plants (cf. p. 399). _Sangádel_: The bamboo frame on which a corpse is placed during the funeral. _Tabing_: A large white blanket with which one corner of the room is screened off during the _Sayang_ and other ceremonies. In this "room" food and other offerings are made for the black, deformed, and timid spirits who wish to attend the ceremony unobserved. _Takal_: Armlets made of boar's tusks, which are worn during certain dances in _Sayang_. _Talapitap_ (Fig. 4, No. 3): A roughly plaited bamboo frame on which the spirits are fed during the more important rites. Used in connection with the _dakidak_ and clay dishes _(sado)._ _Tongátong_ (Fig. 4, No. 5): The musical instrument, which appears in many ceremonials. It consists of six or more bamboo tubes of various lengths. The players hold a tube in each hand, and strike their ends on a stone, which lies between them, the varying lengths of the cylinders giving out different notes. CHAPTER V THE CEREMONIES
