Talk:Rinok

It seems like a couple of wires got crossed here in the retelling of this particular creation myth.

The flavor text is a reference to Sicalac (Sikalak) and Sicabay (Sikabay), the progenitors of the human race in Philippine (specifically Visayan) mythology. Their first son is generally named Libo. Note that this is not necessarily very well-known to many Filipinos in the modern day, since the Philippines is now overwhelmingly Roman Catholic.

Linog is Visayan / Cebuano for "earthquake", and is referenced as the namesake earthquake god who consecrates the marriage of Sikalak and Sikabay. (You have to love the imprecision of the Japanese syllabary in rendering non-Japanese concepts ...)
