cf. Ainu fire-goddess; our ancestress S^into goddess Izana-mi who was burned to death in giving birth. Inhabited gourd-worlds are typical Daoism. Hopi Sipapu is world's navel (for "umbilical cord" -- BH, p. 24), whence humanity emerged.

p. 72 "After all the people came out, the gourd died and disappeared. ... The place was called Bie'enmuxi, and is now in the mountainous Youle region."

This was witnessed at Mexico city by the first-arriving immigrants.

p. 108 The red snake was released when grandpa Xiang "flung his basket at the eagle."

Me[ztli]-xico is "moon-navel"; so the basket may repraesent a "night of the moon", viz. [Maori] Takataka-putea.
