In this myth Leméis is described as a man-eater. In Indian myths
lightning, thunder, earthquake, and cyclone are man-eaters. Every
effort was made to find out who Nul-we and his grandmother were. Old
Ko-a-lák-ak-a, who told the story, said that when she was young she
knew, but she had forgotten. In a Nosa myth, somewhat similar in
construction, but where Lightning is the chief personage, the old
grandmother is Pom, the earth.
