Traditions of the Tinguian: a Study in Philippine Folk-Lore — Page 6
The stories of the last division are the most frequently heard and, as already indicated, are told by all.
Les histoires de la dernière division sont les plus fréquemment entendues et, comme indiqué précédemment, sont racontées par tous.
It is evident even to the casual reader that these show much more evidence of outside influence than do the others; some, indeed, appear to have been recently borrowed from the neighboring christianized Ilocano. [2]
Il est évident, même pour le lecteur occasionnel, que celles-ci montrent beaucoup plus de signes d'influence extérieure que les autres ; certaines, en effet, semblent avoir été récemment empruntées aux Ilocanos christianisés voisins. [2]
Tales of the Mythical Period
Contes de la Période Mythique
_Reconstruction of the Culture_.--In the first division certain actors occur with great frequency, while others always take the leading parts.
_Reconstruction de la Culture_.--Dans la première division, certains personnages apparaissent très fréquemment, tandis que d'autres jouent toujours les rôles principaux.
These latter appear under a variety of names, two or more titles often being used for the same individual in a single tale.
Ces derniers apparaissent sous une variété de noms, deux titres ou plus étant souvent utilisés pour le même individu dans un seul récit.
To avoid confusion a list of the fourteen principal actors and their relationships are given in the accompanying table.
Pour éviter toute confusion, une liste des quatorze personnages principaux et de leurs relations est donnée dans le tableau ci-joint.
It will appear that there are some conflicts in the use of names, but when it is realized that the first twenty-six myths which make up the cycle proper were secured from six story tellers coming from four different towns, the agreement rather than the disagreement is surprising.
Il apparaîtra qu'il existe certains conflits dans l'utilisation des noms, mais quand on réalise que les vingt-six premiers mythes qui constituent le cycle proprement dit ont été recueillis auprès de six conteurs venant de quatre villes différentes, c'est l'accord plutôt que le désaccord qui est surprenant.
As a matter of fact there is quite as much variation between the accounts of the same narrator as between those gathered from different towns.
En réalité, il y a tout autant de variation entre les récits d'un même narrateur qu'entre ceux recueillis dans différentes villes.
