whichbe commented on the word kaiamunu
A demon in the folk belief of the people in the Purari Delta (New Guinea). He plays a big part in the initiation ceremonies for boys, whom he is supposed to swallow and then regurgitate to life. He is represented as a kind of wickerwork image. The long-houses belonging to the men of the tribe seem to reflect the shape of Kaiamunu's image. (From Pantheon.org)
