Animal noises which signal that an evil spirit is around, or
that someone will soon die.
The signal is usually a dog howling very loud and long, or a
chicken clucking and crowing loudly and nonstop at a
time that is not the usual time for doing so.
Mga ang mano pagkotaket mga garamal, asia anday
sayod ono tenged panoloy ta taw.
When chickens cluck and crow very early in the morning,
it's said that's bad because it's a signal
that a person
will
die.
Mga ang siki agtiti-ngi mampir ong pontanen tang
balay, asia panoloy ka.
When a house lizard chirps in the northwest corner of a
house, that is also a signal
of
death.

die.
