Mga Ngalan Sa Atong Langgam
Unang Bahin (First Part)
Pasiuna
Sa dihâ pa ako sa ika-5 nga ang-ang sa tulunghaan (1957), nagsugod na ako og manirador o mang pintik og langgam. Sa pagkasunod tuig ang akong igsuon nipalit og debomba (airgun), ug maka-pamusil na ako sa lainglaing dapit sa Tagbilaran.
Niadtong panahona, ubay-ubáy pa ang mga matang sa langgam nga among makuha, hilabi na duol sa tugpahanan sa idro o sakhangin.
Ang dili gyod nakò malimtan nga akong nakuhà mao ang langgam nga wakwak, ang putì nga kabog, ug ang kab o kabilaw nga dakô kaayong kabog nga kansang dupa sa iyang pakô hapit na moabot sa duha (2) ka mitros.
Karong panahona nangaputol na ang mga kahoy ug ang mga batan-on karon dili na
makabágat sa daghang matang sa langgam.
Ang atong mga kapulongnan (dictionaries) adunay natalà nga nagkalainláin nga mga
ngalan sa langgam. Apan tungod kay mokabat sa 250 ka mga ngalan sa langgam, atò na kining
bahinon sa duha (2) o tulo (3) ka hugna. Atong unang ihatag ang Binisayà ug pagasundan sa
sugisayod sa Ininglis. Ania ang unang bahin:
