(they are hubi, it's a bad story they are not people they are spirits. There are people names, but these are hubi names. Ingis worked them and we heard long ago, the truth I don't know. We just said that man came from them and they saw Ingil, Wa and Yanginn. Did the 3 spirits create man? I don't know, I just know those are bad names)

(I know the name, it isn't a man's name. When there's lying or a hevi we think of these names, they are hubi names and so we get thinking. Did the ancestors think that these 3 created man? They were... and they think they made man, they gave speaking, the man was speaking. They said talk to get him to walk, they said eeg salibigot, the man got up -they said the man got up let's not put more talk- they saw that, they thought "I finished that work quickly, so he's going to stay empty" They had that bad thinking -and had the same thinking for a name-. The names father and moo, God and Jesus are the good names. we think that and we're scared of a hevi if we say the wrong things. Some talk will remain, but for god, son and spirt we're careful and whatever you guys do we'll do. So the Bible says God formed Adam from the ground and breathed life into him. Did these 3 do the same? or just talk and make man? We've heard they did that, as they talked they made man. We've heard the Bible story too. When one said get up, he didn't get up, the man had to eat Do you know the name Tumim? No)
