A legend on Paanaangah and and Peerui (cf. MO01-013). Once Paanaangah went hunting with his followers, and kuhetuka (a spear) he had shot went to Peerui's garden. He sent his followers one by one to retrieve it, but Peerui tricked and killed every one of them, and kept their corpses on the smoking rack. Finally Paanaangah himself went there, found Peerui's trick and killed her, and made their followers alive again.
