A spirit being (very tall.)
If one tries to look at the face, it seems to be as high as the sky. One cannot go past a lagtew but has to pass under the spread legs. The lagtew cannot bend down to catch a person. They are said to live near or in big trees.
Bang lagtewin pasengkang si lānnu subey kew pabutas amban diyawa'ne.
If a spirit being stands with spread legs on your way you should pass under him.
