Shoens, +American teacher among the Bisayans. He had made a collection of some +fifty Bisayan riddles and presented a brief paper regarding them at +the Anthropological Conference held at Baguio, under my direction, on +May 12-14, 1908. My own collection was begun among Ilocano of Union +Province from whom about two hundred examples were secured. Others +were later secured from Pangasinan, Gaddang, Pampangan, Bisayan and +Tagal sources. My informants have chiefly been school-boys, who spoke +a little English; they wrote the text of riddle and answer in their +native tongue and then we went over them carefully together to make +an English translation and to get at the meaning. Many Filipinos +know how to read and write their native language, although few have +had actual instruction in doing so. There is no question that errors +and inconsistencies exist in the spelling of these riddles, due to +this lack of instruction and to the fact that the texts have been +written by many different persons. I am myself not acquainted with +any Malay language. I have tried to secure uniformity in spelling +within the limits of each language but have no doubt overlooked many +inconsistencies. The indulgence of competent critics is asked. It has +been our intention throughout to adhere to the _old_ orthography. Thus +the initial _qu_ and the final _ao_ have been preferred. + +The _word_ for riddle varies with the population. In Ilocano it is +_burburtia_, in Pangasinan _boniqueo_, in Tagal _bugtong_, in Gaddang +----, in Pampangan _bugtong_, in Bisayan _tugmahanon_. + +Riddles are common to all mankind. They delighted the old Aryans and +the ancient Greeks as they do the modern Hindu and the Bantu peoples +of darkest Africa. Many writers have defined the riddle. Friedreich +in his _Geschichte des Räthsels_, says: "The riddle is an indirect +presentation of an unknown object, in order that the ingenuity of the +hearer or reader may be exercised in finding it out.... Wolf has given +the following definition: the riddle is a play of wit, which endeavors +to so present an object, by stating its characteristic features and +peculiarities, as to adequately call it before the mind, without, +however, actually naming it." + +The riddles of various Oriental peoples have already been collected +and more or less adequately discussed by authors. Hebrew riddles +occur in the Bible, the best known certainly being Samson's: + + + "Out of the eater came forth meat, + And out of the strong came forth sweetness." + + +Arabic riddles are many and have been considerably studied; Persian +riddles are well known; of Indian riddles at least one collection +has been printed separately under the name _Lakshminatha upasaru_, +a series of Kolarian riddles from Chota Nagpur has been printed as, +also, an interesting article upon Behar riddles; Sanskrit riddles are +numerous and have called for some attention from scholars; a few Gypsy +riddles are known; two recent papers deal with Corean riddles. We know +of but two references to Malayan riddles; one is Rizal, _Specimens +of Tagal Folk-Lore_, the other is Sibree's paper upon the _Oratory, +Songs, Legends, and Folk-Tales of the Malagasy_. This is no doubt +an incomplete bibliography but the field has been sadly neglected +and even to secure this list has demanded much labor. It suffices +to show how deeply the riddle is rooted in Oriental thought and +indicates the probability that riddles were used in Malaysia long +before European contact. + +To what degree Filipino riddles are indigenous and original is an +interesting but difficult question. So far as they are of European +origin or influenced by European thought, they have come from or +been influenced by Spain. Whatever comparison is made should chiefly, +and primarily, be with Spanish riddles. But our available sources of +information regarding Spanish riddles are not numerous. We have only +Demofilo's _Collecion de enigmas y adivinanzas_, printed at Seville +in 1880, and a series of five chap-books from Mexico, entitled _Del +Pegueño Adivinadorcito_, and containing a total of three hundred and +seven riddles. Filipino riddles deal largely with animals, plants and +objects of local character; such must have been made in the Islands +even if influenced by Spanish models and ideas. Some depend upon purely +local customs and conditions--thus numbers 170, 237, etc., could only +originate locally. Some, to which the answers are such words as egg, +needle and thread, etc., (answers common to riddles in all European +lands), may be due to outside influence and may still have some local +or native touch or flavor, in their metaphors; thus No. 102 is actually +our "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall;" the Mexican form runs: + + + "Una arquita muy chiquita + tan blanca como la cal + todo lo saben abrir + pero ninguno cerrar." + + +But the metaphor "the King's limebox" could only occur in a district +of betel-chewing and is a native touch. Many of the Filipino riddles +introduce the names of saints and, to that degree, evidence foreign +influence; but even in such cases there may be local coloring; thus, +calling rain-drops falling "rods," "St. Joseph's rods cannot be +counted," could hardly be found outside of the tropics. Religious +riddles, relating to beads, bells, church, crucifixes, are common +enough and are necessarily due to outside influence, but even such +sometimes show a non-European attitude of mind, metaphorical expression +or form of thought. + +Everywhere riddles vary in quality and value. Many are stupid +things, crudely conceived and badly expressed. Only the exceptional +is fine. Examine any page of one of our own riddle books and you +may criticize almost every riddle upon it for view-point, or form, +or flavor. We must not demand more from Filipino riddles than from +our own. Some knowledge of local products, customs, conditions, is +necessary for the understanding of their meaning; when understood, +they are fully equal to ours in shrewdness, wit and expression. Krauss +emphasizes the fact that everywhere riddles tend to coarseness and +even to obscenity and discusses the reasons. What is true elsewhere +is true here; a considerable number of Filipino riddles are coarse; +we have introduced them but emphasize the fact that any scientifically +formed collection of German or English riddles would contain some +quite as bad. + +Probably few of our readers have considered the taxonomy of +riddles. Friedreich offers a loose and unscientific classification +as follows: + + + I. The Question Riddle. + II. The Simple Word Riddle (with seven sub-divisions). + III. The Syllable Riddle or Charade. + IV. The Letter Riddle. + 1. With reference to sound. + 2. With reference to form. + V. Punctuation Riddles. + VI. The Rebus. + VII. Complex Riddles; combination of two or more simple types. + VIII. Number Riddles. + + +Several of these forms occur in our collection. + +More scientific than Friedreich's work is Petsch's _Studien über +das Volksrätsel_. His analysis and dissection of riddle forms best +enable us to test the indigenous content of our Filipino riddles. He +recognizes two fundamental riddle types. He says: "Two groups of +riddles have long been distinguished in the collections, the true +rhymed riddles and the short 'catch-questions' expressed in prose. The +difference is not only in form but in content. 'True riddles' have +as purpose the describing of an object in veiled, thought-arousing, +perhaps misleading, poetical clothing, which, from this presentation of +its appearance, its source, its utility, etc., shall be recognized by +the intelligence, i.e., can and shall be guessed. 'Catch-questions,' +on the contrary, are not to be guessed, the questioner intending +himself to give the solution; at their best they are intended to trick +the hearer, and since their solution is impossible to the uninitiated +are not 'true riddles' but false ones. Since I propose to divide the +total riddle material of each single nation between these two great +chief groups, may I not somewhat extend the scope of the latter, +including some things which are rejected from most collections as +having little to do with actual riddles--those questions which are +generally insoluble and such tests of wisdom as appeal not to wit +and understanding, but to knowledge--which are certainly not true +riddles. Thus, in the group here characterized as 'false' different +classes of things are brought together, the characteristics of which +I shall investigate later." It would be interesting to quote the +author's discussion further. We can, however, only state that he +recognizes three classes of "false riddles," to which he gives the +names "wisdom tests," "life-ransoming riddles," and "catch-questions." + +Of "true riddles" there is a vast variety of form and content. Most +typical is the descriptive riddle of a single object to be guessed. In +its complete and normal form Petsch claims that such a riddle +consists of five elements or parts. 1 Introduction; 2 denominative; +3 descriptive; 4 restraint or contrast; 5 conclusion. 1 and 5 are +merely formal, trimmings; 2 and 3 are inherent and essential; 4 +is common and adds vigor and interest. Such complete and "normal" +riddles are rare in any language. Usually one or more of the five +elements are lacking. It is only by such an analysis of riddle forms +that a comparative study of riddles can be made. Any single riddle is +best understood, by the constant holding before the mind this pattern +framework and noting the degree of development of the case in hand. + +The Filipinos themselves recognize several classes of riddles. An +old Tagal lady told us there were three kinds: + + + + 1. _Alo-divino_: concerning God and divine things + 2. _Alo-humano_: concerning persons + 3. _Parabula_: all others + + + +There is no science in this classification, which embodies considerable +corrupted Spanish. Another informant recognizes six classes: + + + 1. _Alo-divino_ + 2. _Historia-vino:_ history of God and saints + 3. _Alo-humano_ + 4. _Historia-mano_: history of persons. + 5. _Karle-mano_: God and saints and persons together. + 6. _Parabula_ or _biniyabas_. + + +These names call for little comment and the classification they +embody is of the loosest. The word _parabula_ is Spanish in source +and equivalent to our parable; _biniyabas_ is Tagal. + +Some features of our riddles call for comment. Filipino riddles, in +whatever language, are likely to be in poetical form. The commonest +type is in two well-balanced, rhyming lines. Filipino versification is +less exacting in its demand in rhyme than our own; it is sufficient if +the final syllables contain the same vowel; thus Rizal says--_ayup_ +and _pagud_, _aval_ and _alam_, rhyme. The commonest riddle verse +contains five or seven, or six, syllables, thus: + + + Daluang balon + hindi malingon + +or + + Bahay ni San Gabriel + punong puno nang barel. + + +Just as in European riddles certain set phrases or sentences are +found frequently at the beginning or end of the riddle. In Ilocano +and Pangasinan a common introductory form is "What creature of +God" or "What thing made by Lord God," the expression in reality +being equivalent to a simple "what." These pious forms do not at all +necessarily refer either to animals or natural objects; thus, a boat or +a house is just as good a "creature of God" as a fowl is. A common form +of ending is "Tell it and I am yours," "Guess it and I am your man." + +Quite analogous to calling inanimate or artificial things "creatures +of God" is the personification of all sorts of things, animate and +inanimate; thus, a rat is "an old man," a dipper is "a boy." Not +infrequently the object or idea thus personified is given a title of +respect; thus, "Corporal Black" is the night. Akin to personification +is bold metaphor and association. In this there may or may not be +some evident analogy; thus a crawfish is "a bird," the banca or canoe +is "rung" (like a bell.) Not uncommonly the word "house" is used of +anything thought of as containing something; thus "Santa Ana's house," +"San Gabriel's house;" this use is particularly used in speaking +of fruits. "Santa Ana's house is full of bullets" is rather pretty +description for the papaya. The word "work" is often used for a thing +made, or a manufactured article. + +Saints' names are constantly introduced, generally in the possessive +case; examples are "Santa Ana's house," "Santa Maria's umbrella," +"San Jose's canes." Less commonly the names of other Bible worthies +occur; thus "Adam's hair." There is not always any evident fitness in +the selection of the Saint in the connection established. San Jose's +connection with rain is suitable enough. One would need to know a +good deal regarding local and popular hagiography in order to see to +what degree the selections are appropriate. + +Sometimes words without meaning, or with no significance in the +connection where they occur are used. These may serve merely +to fill out a line or to meet the demands of metre. Such often +appear to be names of the style of "Humpty Dumpty;" these may be +phonetically happy, as similar ones often are in European riddles, +fitting well with the word or idea to be called up. _Marabotania_ +is probably meaningless, merely for euphony. Place names with no real +connection with the thought are frequently introduced, as Pantaleon, +Mariveles. "_Guering-guering_" and "_Minimin_" are merely for sound. + +Particularly interesting and curious are the _historia-vino_ given +in numbers 312-317. No doubt there are many such. Those here given +were secured from one boy at Malolos. When first examined, I believed +the boy had not understood what I was after. He assured me that they +were _bugtong_ and _bugtong_ of the best and finest class. The idea +in these is to propound a statement in a paradoxical form, which +calls for some reference to a bible story or teaching; the answer is +not immediately clear and demands a commentary which is quite often +subtle and ingenious. Friedreich gives examples of similar expository +religious riddles from Europe. + +A curious group are the relationship riddles, numbers 286-289, which +closely resemble trick questions among ourselves. The evidence of +outside influence is here conclusive in the fact that the ideas and +terms of relationship in them are purely European, in nowise reflecting +the characteristic Malayan system and nomenclature. + +Some of the riddles are distinctly stupid. "I let the sun shine on +your father's back" seems to mean no more than that the house roof +is exposed to the solar rays. It is doubtful whether this means much +even in the original Tagal. Of course many of the riddles demand +for their adequate understanding a knowledge of native customs, +which the outsider rarely has. Thus, until one knows a common method +of punishing naughty children, the riddle "I have a friend; I do +not like to face him" means nothing. Perhaps the most difficult to +adequately present are some plays on words. These frequently need a +considerable explanation. In some of these the parts of the word to +guess are concealed in or are suggested by the form of the statement +and one must extract them and combine them; such are "_iscopidor_" and +"_sampaloc_." In others the play depends upon homophony, the same sound +or word have different meanings. In yet a third class the answer is a +smart Aleck sort of an affair, "How do you take a deer without net, +dogs, spear, or other things for catching?" "Cooked." Most inane +of all, but with plenty of analogues among ourselves, are those +where the answer itself is introduced into the question with the +intention to mislead; "Its skin is green and its flesh is red like +a watermelon." "Watermelon." + +Filipino riddles are mostly given out by young people. When several +are gathered together they will question and answer; they are much in +vogue when a young gentleman calls upon his sweetheart; among Tagals +and Pampangans at least the chief occasion for giving _bugtong_ is when +a little group are watching at night beside a corpse. In propounding +a riddle it is not uncommon to challenge attention by repeating as +witty a rhyme, which is quite as often coarse as witty. One Tagal +example runs: + + + Bugtong co ka Piro! + Turan mo ka Baldo! + Pag hindi mo naturan + Hindi ca nang iwang; + Pag maturan mo + May tae ang puit mo. + + + I have a bugtong compadre P! + Guess it compadre B! + If you cannot guess it + You have not cleaned yourself; + If you do not guess it + You are dirty. + + +We have mentioned two references to Malay riddles. Of the eight given +in Rizal's paper five have been given us by our informants. As Rizal's +entire paper will be reprinted in another volume of this series we have +not copied the other three. Sibree's paper is important for comparison, +since it presents matter drawn from the uttermost point of Malaysia, +Madagascar, which has been unaffected by Spanish influence. Sibree's +article is translated from a little book by another missionary, the +Rev. Louis Dahle. Dahle's book is entitled _Specimens of Malayasy +Folklore_ and its material is presented in Malagasy only. Mr. Sibree +translates twenty of his riddles. They are in character and flavor +like many of the Filipino riddles. As Sibree does not give the native +text and I have not seen Dahle's book, I cannot know whether they +are rhymed. They are all of the type of true riddles to be guessed, +descriptions wherein one or two characteristics or striking features +are presented, either directly or figuratively. Examination of this +little series deepens an impression already made by study of our own +collection, namely, that the true riddles in our series are largely +original Filipino while the insoluble riddles, the catches, the plays +on words, are those where foreign influence is most evident. Although +Sibree's article is easily accessible, we quote a few of these Malagasy +examples for comparison. + +"Cut and no wound seen?" "Water," is our number 231. + +"The mother says let us stand up, but the children say let us lie +across?" "A ladder." and "At night they come without being fetched +and by day they are lost, without being stolen?" "The stars." are +quite in the style and spirit of Filipino riddles. Compare "Coarse +rafia cloth outside and white robe inside?" "Manioc root" with the +"Poor outside; rich within," "Langca" of the Ilocano. + +The order of presentation of these riddles has been a considerable +problem. To arrange them rigidly in Petsch's order of development +might have been fairly satisfactory but would have rendered the +finding of any desired riddle difficult. We have struck out a +crude arrangement in alphabetical order of the English answers, +with subdivisions under some general headings. The arrangement is +not scientific nor completely developed, but it will perhaps work +fairly well in practice. The original text is first given for riddle +and answer; the English translation of both follows; then are given +such explanation and comment as are necessary. When a riddle occurs +in different languages, the text of the question is given in one, +but the fact of its occurrence in others is indicated. + +We are indebted to many for assistance. The list is too long for +individual acknowledgment. To our original Ilocano helpers this little +book is dedicated. To Messrs. George T. Shoens, Francisco A. Santos +(Calumpit), Rufino Santos (Arayat) and Conrado Benitez (Pagsanghan), +we are so deeply indebted that their names must be mentioned. To school +boys in Agoo, San Fernando (Union), Malolos, Manila and Tayug, we owe +many thanks. Would that the publication of this imperfect collection +might lead to their greater interest in a neglected section of their +folklore. Some Malay worker ought to perfect and complete the work +here begun. + +This volume is the first number of a series of little books which the +undersigned plans to bring out under the general title of _Philippine +Studies_. Each number will treat of a distinct and separate subject; +each will be independent. The extent to which the series will be +developed, will depend upon the reception given to it and the degree +in which it appears to respond to a real need. Two numbers at any +rate are already arranged and the second should appear within a year. + + +Frederick Starr. + +September, 1909. + + + + +BIBLIOGRAPHY OF WORKS MENTIONED IN THE INTRODUCTION + + +Bernheisel, K.

Shoens, +American teacher among the Bisayans. He had made a collection of some +fifty Bisayan riddles and presented a brief paper regarding them at +the Anthropological Conference held at Baguio, under my direction, on +May 12-14, 1908. My own collection was begun among Ilocano of Union +Province from whom about two hundred examples were secured. Others +were later secured from Pangasinan, Gaddang, Pampangan, Bisayan and +Tagal sources. My informants have chiefly been school-boys, who spoke +a little English; they wrote the text of riddle and answer in their +native tongue and then we went over them carefully together to make +an English translation and to get at the meaning. Many Filipinos +know how to read and write their native language, although few have +had actual instruction in doing so. There is no question that errors +and inconsistencies exist in the spelling of these riddles, due to +this lack of instruction and to the fact that the texts have been +written by many different persons. I am myself not acquainted with +any Malay language. I have tried to secure uniformity in spelling +within the limits of each language but have no doubt overlooked many +inconsistencies. The indulgence of competent critics is asked. It has +been our intention throughout to adhere to the _old_ orthography. Thus +the initial _qu_ and the final _ao_ have been preferred. + +The _word_ for riddle varies with the population. In Ilocano it is +_burburtia_, in Pangasinan _boniqueo_, in Tagal _bugtong_, in Gaddang +----, in Pampangan _bugtong_, in Bisayan _tugmahanon_. + +Riddles are common to all mankind. They delighted the old Aryans and +the ancient Greeks as they do the modern Hindu and the Bantu peoples +of darkest Africa. Many writers have defined the riddle. Friedreich +in his _Geschichte des Räthsels_, says: "The riddle is an indirect +presentation of an unknown object, in order that the ingenuity of the +hearer or reader may be exercised in finding it out.... Wolf has given +the following definition: the riddle is a play of wit, which endeavors +to so present an object, by stating its characteristic features and +peculiarities, as to adequately call it before the mind, without, +however, actually naming it." + +The riddles of various Oriental peoples have already been collected +and more or less adequately discussed by authors. Hebrew riddles +occur in the Bible, the best known certainly being Samson's: + + + "Out of the eater came forth meat, + And out of the strong came forth sweetness." + + +Arabic riddles are many and have been considerably studied; Persian +riddles are well known; of Indian riddles at least one collection +has been printed separately under the name _Lakshminatha upasaru_, +a series of Kolarian riddles from Chota Nagpur has been printed as, +also, an interesting article upon Behar riddles; Sanskrit riddles are +numerous and have called for some attention from scholars; a few Gypsy +riddles are known; two recent papers deal with Corean riddles. We know +of but two references to Malayan riddles; one is Rizal, _Specimens +of Tagal Folk-Lore_, the other is Sibree's paper upon the _Oratory, +Songs, Legends, and Folk-Tales of the Malagasy_. This is no doubt +an incomplete bibliography but the field has been sadly neglected +and even to secure this list has demanded much labor. It suffices +to show how deeply the riddle is rooted in Oriental thought and +indicates the probability that riddles were used in Malaysia long +before European contact. + +To what degree Filipino riddles are indigenous and original is an +interesting but difficult question. So far as they are of European +origin or influenced by European thought, they have come from or +been influenced by Spain. Whatever comparison is made should chiefly, +and primarily, be with Spanish riddles. But our available sources of +information regarding Spanish riddles are not numerous. We have only +Demofilo's _Collecion de enigmas y adivinanzas_, printed at Seville +in 1880, and a series of five chap-books from Mexico, entitled _Del +Pegueño Adivinadorcito_, and containing a total of three hundred and +seven riddles. Filipino riddles deal largely with animals, plants and +objects of local character; such must have been made in the Islands +even if influenced by Spanish models and ideas. Some depend upon purely +local customs and conditions--thus numbers 170, 237, etc., could only +originate locally. Some, to which the answers are such words as egg, +needle and thread, etc., (answers common to riddles in all European +lands), may be due to outside influence and may still have some local +or native touch or flavor, in their metaphors; thus No. 102 is actually +our "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall;" the Mexican form runs: + + + "Una arquita muy chiquita + tan blanca como la cal + todo lo saben abrir + pero ninguno cerrar." + + +But the metaphor "the King's limebox" could only occur in a district +of betel-chewing and is a native touch. Many of the Filipino riddles +introduce the names of saints and, to that degree, evidence foreign +influence; but even in such cases there may be local coloring; thus, +calling rain-drops falling "rods," "St. Joseph's rods cannot be +counted," could hardly be found outside of the tropics. Religious +riddles, relating to beads, bells, church, crucifixes, are common +enough and are necessarily due to outside influence, but even such +sometimes show a non-European attitude of mind, metaphorical expression +or form of thought. + +Everywhere riddles vary in quality and value. Many are stupid +things, crudely conceived and badly expressed. Only the exceptional +is fine. Examine any page of one of our own riddle books and you +may criticize almost every riddle upon it for view-point, or form, +or flavor. We must not demand more from Filipino riddles than from +our own. Some knowledge of local products, customs, conditions, is +necessary for the understanding of their meaning; when understood, +they are fully equal to ours in shrewdness, wit and expression. Krauss +emphasizes the fact that everywhere riddles tend to coarseness and +even to obscenity and discusses the reasons. What is true elsewhere +is true here; a considerable number of Filipino riddles are coarse; +we have introduced them but emphasize the fact that any scientifically +formed collection of German or English riddles would contain some +quite as bad. + +Probably few of our readers have considered the taxonomy of +riddles. Friedreich offers a loose and unscientific classification +as follows: + + + I. The Question Riddle. + II. The Simple Word Riddle (with seven sub-divisions). + III. The Syllable Riddle or Charade. + IV. The Letter Riddle. + 1. With reference to sound. + 2. With reference to form. + V. Punctuation Riddles. + VI. The Rebus. + VII. Complex Riddles; combination of two or more simple types. + VIII. Number Riddles. + + +Several of these forms occur in our collection. + +More scientific than Friedreich's work is Petsch's _Studien über +das Volksrätsel_. His analysis and dissection of riddle forms best +enable us to test the indigenous content of our Filipino riddles. He +recognizes two fundamental riddle types. He says: "Two groups of +riddles have long been distinguished in the collections, the true +rhymed riddles and the short 'catch-questions' expressed in prose. The +difference is not only in form but in content. 'True riddles' have +as purpose the describing of an object in veiled, thought-arousing, +perhaps misleading, poetical clothing, which, from this presentation of +its appearance, its source, its utility, etc., shall be recognized by +the intelligence, i.e., can and shall be guessed. 'Catch-questions,' +on the contrary, are not to be guessed, the questioner intending +himself to give the solution; at their best they are intended to trick +the hearer, and since their solution is impossible to the uninitiated +are not 'true riddles' but false ones. Since I propose to divide the +total riddle material of each single nation between these two great +chief groups, may I not somewhat extend the scope of the latter, +including some things which are rejected from most collections as +having little to do with actual riddles--those questions which are +generally insoluble and such tests of wisdom as appeal not to wit +and understanding, but to knowledge--which are certainly not true +riddles. Thus, in the group here characterized as 'false' different +classes of things are brought together, the characteristics of which +I shall investigate later." It would be interesting to quote the +author's discussion further. We can, however, only state that he +recognizes three classes of "false riddles," to which he gives the +names "wisdom tests," "life-ransoming riddles," and "catch-questions." + +Of "true riddles" there is a vast variety of form and content. Most +typical is the descriptive riddle of a single object to be guessed. In +its complete and normal form Petsch claims that such a riddle +consists of five elements or parts. 1 Introduction; 2 denominative; +3 descriptive; 4 restraint or contrast; 5 conclusion. 1 and 5 are +merely formal, trimmings; 2 and 3 are inherent and essential; 4 +is common and adds vigor and interest. Such complete and "normal" +riddles are rare in any language. Usually one or more of the five +elements are lacking. It is only by such an analysis of riddle forms +that a comparative study of riddles can be made. Any single riddle is +best understood, by the constant holding before the mind this pattern +framework and noting the degree of development of the case in hand. + +The Filipinos themselves recognize several classes of riddles. An +old Tagal lady told us there were three kinds: + + + + 1. _Alo-divino_: concerning God and divine things + 2. _Alo-humano_: concerning persons + 3. _Parabula_: all others + + + +There is no science in this classification, which embodies considerable +corrupted Spanish. Another informant recognizes six classes: + + + 1. _Alo-divino_ + 2. _Historia-vino:_ history of God and saints + 3. _Alo-humano_ + 4. _Historia-mano_: history of persons. + 5. _Karle-mano_: God and saints and persons together. + 6. _Parabula_ or _biniyabas_. + + +These names call for little comment and the classification they +embody is of the loosest. The word _parabula_ is Spanish in source +and equivalent to our parable; _biniyabas_ is Tagal. + +Some features of our riddles call for comment. Filipino riddles, in +whatever language, are likely to be in poetical form. The commonest +type is in two well-balanced, rhyming lines. Filipino versification is +less exacting in its demand in rhyme than our own; it is sufficient if +the final syllables contain the same vowel; thus Rizal says--_ayup_ +and _pagud_, _aval_ and _alam_, rhyme. The commonest riddle verse +contains five or seven, or six, syllables, thus: + + + Daluang balon + hindi malingon + +or + + Bahay ni San Gabriel + punong puno nang barel. + + +Just as in European riddles certain set phrases or sentences are +found frequently at the beginning or end of the riddle. In Ilocano +and Pangasinan a common introductory form is "What creature of +God" or "What thing made by Lord God," the expression in reality +being equivalent to a simple "what." These pious forms do not at all +necessarily refer either to animals or natural objects; thus, a boat or +a house is just as good a "creature of God" as a fowl is. A common form +of ending is "Tell it and I am yours," "Guess it and I am your man." + +Quite analogous to calling inanimate or artificial things "creatures +of God" is the personification of all sorts of things, animate and +inanimate; thus, a rat is "an old man," a dipper is "a boy." Not +infrequently the object or idea thus personified is given a title of +respect; thus, "Corporal Black" is the night. Akin to personification +is bold metaphor and association. In this there may or may not be +some evident analogy; thus a crawfish is "a bird," the banca or canoe +is "rung" (like a bell.) Not uncommonly the word "house" is used of +anything thought of as containing something; thus "Santa Ana's house," +"San Gabriel's house;" this use is particularly used in speaking +of fruits. "Santa Ana's house is full of bullets" is rather pretty +description for the papaya. The word "work" is often used for a thing +made, or a manufactured article. + +Saints' names are constantly introduced, generally in the possessive +case; examples are "Santa Ana's house," "Santa Maria's umbrella," +"San Jose's canes." Less commonly the names of other Bible worthies +occur; thus "Adam's hair." There is not always any evident fitness in +the selection of the Saint in the connection established. San Jose's +connection with rain is suitable enough. One would need to know a +good deal regarding local and popular hagiography in order to see to +what degree the selections are appropriate. + +Sometimes words without meaning, or with no significance in the +connection where they occur are used. These may serve merely +to fill out a line or to meet the demands of metre. Such often +appear to be names of the style of "Humpty Dumpty;" these may be +phonetically happy, as similar ones often are in European riddles, +fitting well with the word or idea to be called up. _Marabotania_ +is probably meaningless, merely for euphony. Place names with no real +connection with the thought are frequently introduced, as Pantaleon, +Mariveles. "_Guering-guering_" and "_Minimin_" are merely for sound. + +Particularly interesting and curious are the _historia-vino_ given +in numbers 312-317. No doubt there are many such. Those here given +were secured from one boy at Malolos. When first examined, I believed +the boy had not understood what I was after. He assured me that they +were _bugtong_ and _bugtong_ of the best and finest class. The idea +in these is to propound a statement in a paradoxical form, which +calls for some reference to a bible story or teaching; the answer is +not immediately clear and demands a commentary which is quite often +subtle and ingenious. Friedreich gives examples of similar expository +religious riddles from Europe. + +A curious group are the relationship riddles, numbers 286-289, which +closely resemble trick questions among ourselves. The evidence of +outside influence is here conclusive in the fact that the ideas and +terms of relationship in them are purely European, in nowise reflecting +the characteristic Malayan system and nomenclature. + +Some of the riddles are distinctly stupid. "I let the sun shine on +your father's back" seems to mean no more than that the house roof +is exposed to the solar rays. It is doubtful whether this means much +even in the original Tagal. Of course many of the riddles demand +for their adequate understanding a knowledge of native customs, +which the outsider rarely has. Thus, until one knows a common method +of punishing naughty children, the riddle "I have a friend; I do +not like to face him" means nothing. Perhaps the most difficult to +adequately present are some plays on words. These frequently need a +considerable explanation. In some of these the parts of the word to +guess are concealed in or are suggested by the form of the statement +and one must extract them and combine them; such are "_iscopidor_" and +"_sampaloc_." In others the play depends upon homophony, the same sound +or word have different meanings. In yet a third class the answer is a +smart Aleck sort of an affair, "How do you take a deer without net, +dogs, spear, or other things for catching?" "Cooked." Most inane +of all, but with plenty of analogues among ourselves, are those +where the answer itself is introduced into the question with the +intention to mislead; "Its skin is green and its flesh is red like +a watermelon." "Watermelon." + +Filipino riddles are mostly given out by young people. When several +are gathered together they will question and answer; they are much in +vogue when a young gentleman calls upon his sweetheart; among Tagals +and Pampangans at least the chief occasion for giving _bugtong_ is when +a little group are watching at night beside a corpse. In propounding +a riddle it is not uncommon to challenge attention by repeating as +witty a rhyme, which is quite as often coarse as witty. One Tagal +example runs: + + + Bugtong co ka Piro! + Turan mo ka Baldo! + Pag hindi mo naturan + Hindi ca nang iwang; + Pag maturan mo + May tae ang puit mo. + + + I have a bugtong compadre P! + Guess it compadre B! + If you cannot guess it + You have not cleaned yourself; + If you do not guess it + You are dirty. + + +We have mentioned two references to Malay riddles. Of the eight given +in Rizal's paper five have been given us by our informants. As Rizal's +entire paper will be reprinted in another volume of this series we have +not copied the other three. Sibree's paper is important for comparison, +since it presents matter drawn from the uttermost point of Malaysia, +Madagascar, which has been unaffected by Spanish influence. Sibree's +article is translated from a little book by another missionary, the +Rev. Louis Dahle. Dahle's book is entitled _Specimens of Malayasy +Folklore_ and its material is presented in Malagasy only. Mr. Sibree +translates twenty of his riddles. They are in character and flavor +like many of the Filipino riddles. As Sibree does not give the native +text and I have not seen Dahle's book, I cannot know whether they +are rhymed. They are all of the type of true riddles to be guessed, +descriptions wherein one or two characteristics or striking features +are presented, either directly or figuratively. Examination of this +little series deepens an impression already made by study of our own +collection, namely, that the true riddles in our series are largely +original Filipino while the insoluble riddles, the catches, the plays +on words, are those where foreign influence is most evident. Although +Sibree's article is easily accessible, we quote a few of these Malagasy +examples for comparison. + +"Cut and no wound seen?" "Water," is our number 231. + +"The mother says let us stand up, but the children say let us lie +across?" "A ladder." and "At night they come without being fetched +and by day they are lost, without being stolen?" "The stars." are +quite in the style and spirit of Filipino riddles. Compare "Coarse +rafia cloth outside and white robe inside?" "Manioc root" with the +"Poor outside; rich within," "Langca" of the Ilocano. + +The order of presentation of these riddles has been a considerable +problem. To arrange them rigidly in Petsch's order of development +might have been fairly satisfactory but would have rendered the +finding of any desired riddle difficult. We have struck out a +crude arrangement in alphabetical order of the English answers, +with subdivisions under some general headings. The arrangement is +not scientific nor completely developed, but it will perhaps work +fairly well in practice. The original text is first given for riddle +and answer; the English translation of both follows; then are given +such explanation and comment as are necessary. When a riddle occurs +in different languages, the text of the question is given in one, +but the fact of its occurrence in others is indicated. + +We are indebted to many for assistance. The list is too long for +individual acknowledgment. To our original Ilocano helpers this little +book is dedicated. To Messrs. George T. Shoens, Francisco A. Santos +(Calumpit), Rufino Santos (Arayat) and Conrado Benitez (Pagsanghan), +we are so deeply indebted that their names must be mentioned. To school +boys in Agoo, San Fernando (Union), Malolos, Manila and Tayug, we owe +many thanks. Would that the publication of this imperfect collection +might lead to their greater interest in a neglected section of their +folklore. Some Malay worker ought to perfect and complete the work +here begun. + +This volume is the first number of a series of little books which the +undersigned plans to bring out under the general title of _Philippine +Studies_. Each number will treat of a distinct and separate subject; +each will be independent. The extent to which the series will be +developed, will depend upon the reception given to it and the degree +in which it appears to respond to a real need. Two numbers at any +rate are already arranged and the second should appear within a year. + + +Frederick Starr. + +September, 1909. + + + + +BIBLIOGRAPHY OF WORKS MENTIONED IN THE INTRODUCTION + + +Bernheisel, K.

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included.

Shoens, American teacher among the Bisayans. He had made a collection of some fifty Bisayan riddles and presented a brief +paper regarding them at the Anthropological Conference held at Baguio, under my direction, on May 12–14, 1908. My own collection +was begun among Ilocano of Union Province from whom about two hundred examples were secured. Others were later secured from +Pangasinan, Gaddang, Pampangan, Bisayan and Tagal sources. My informants have chiefly been school-boys, who spoke a little +English; they wrote the text of riddle and answer in their native tongue and then we went over them carefully together to +make an English translation and to get at the meaning. Many Filipinos know how to read and write their native language, although +few have had actual instruction in doing so. There is no question that errors and inconsistencies <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e130"></a>Page 5</span>exist in the spelling of these riddles, due to this lack of instruction and to the fact that the texts have been written by +many different persons. I am myself not acquainted with any Malay language. I have tried to secure uniformity in spelling +within the limits of each language but have no doubt overlooked many inconsistencies. The indulgence of competent critics +is asked. It has been our intention throughout to adhere to the <i>old</i> orthography. Thus the initial <i>qu</i> and the final <i>ao</i> have been preferred. + +</p> +<p id="d0e141">The <i>word</i> for riddle varies with the population. In Ilocano it is <i>burburtia</i>, in Pangasinan <i>boniqueo</i>, in Tagal <i>bugtong</i>, in Gaddang ———, in Pampangan <i>bugtong</i>, in Bisayan <i>tugmahanon</i>. + +</p> +<p id="d0e161">Riddles are common to all mankind. They delighted the old Aryans and the ancient Greeks as they do the modern Hindu and the +Bantu peoples of darkest Africa. Many writers have defined the riddle. Friedreich in his <i>Geschichte des Räthsels</i>, says: “The riddle is an indirect presentation of an unknown object, in order that the ingenuity of the hearer or reader +may be exercised in finding it out.... Wolf has given the following definition: the riddle is a play of wit, which endeavors +to so present <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e166"></a>Page 6</span>an object, by stating its characteristic features and peculiarities, as to adequately call it before the mind, without, however, +actually naming it.” + +</p> +<p id="d0e168">The riddles of various Oriental peoples have already been collected and more or less adequately discussed by authors. Hebrew +riddles occur in the Bible, the best known certainly being Samson's: + + +</p> +<p class="poetry"><br id="d0e171">“Out of the eater came forth meat, +<br id="d0e173">And out of the strong came forth sweetness.” +</p> +<p id="d0e175">Arabic riddles are many and have been considerably studied; Persian riddles are well known; of Indian riddles at least one +collection has been printed separately under the name <i>Lakshminatha upasaru</i>, a series of Kolarian riddles from Chota Nagpur has been printed as, also, an interesting article upon Behar riddles; Sanskrit +riddles are numerous and have called for some attention from scholars; a few Gypsy riddles are known; two recent papers deal +with Corean riddles. We know of but two references to Malayan riddles; one is Rizal, <i>Specimens of Tagal Folk-Lore</i>, the other is Sibree's paper upon the <i>Oratory, Songs, Legends, and Folk-Tales of the Malagasy</i>. This is no doubt an incomplete bibliography but the field has been sadly neglected and even to secure <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e186"></a>Page 7</span>this list has demanded much labor. It suffices to show how deeply the riddle is rooted in Oriental thought and indicates the +probability that riddles were used in Malaysia long before European contact. + +</p> +<p id="d0e188">To what degree Filipino riddles are indigenous and original is an interesting but difficult question. So far as they are of +European origin or influenced by European thought, they have come from or been influenced by Spain. Whatever comparison is +made should chiefly, and primarily, be with Spanish riddles. But our available sources of information regarding Spanish riddles +are not numerous. We have only Demofilo's <i>Collecion de enigmas y adivinanzas</i>, printed at Seville in 1880, and a series of five chap-books from Mexico, entitled <i>Del Pegueño Adivinadorcito</i>, and containing a total of three hundred and seven riddles. Filipino riddles deal largely with animals, plants and objects +of local character; such must have been made in the Islands even if influenced by Spanish models and ideas. Some depend upon +purely local customs and conditions—thus numbers <a id="d0e196" href="#d0e2244">170</a>, <a id="d0e199" href="#d0e2908">237</a>, etc., could only originate locally. Some, to which the answers are such words as egg, needle and thread, etc., (answers +<span class="pageno"><a id="d0e202"></a>Page 8</span>common to riddles in all European lands), may be due to outside influence and may still have some local or native touch or +flavor, in their metaphors; thus No. <a id="d0e204" href="#d0e1527">102</a> is actually our “Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall;” the Mexican form runs: + + +</p> +<p class="poetry"><br id="d0e208">“Una arquita muy chiquita +<br id="d0e210">tan blanca como la cal +<br id="d0e212">todo lo saben abrir +<br id="d0e214">pero ninguno cerrar.” +</p> +<p id="d0e216">But the metaphor “the King's limebox” could only occur in a district of betel-chewing and is a native touch. Many of the Filipino +riddles introduce the names of saints and, to that degree, evidence foreign influence; but even in such cases there may be +local coloring; thus, calling rain-drops falling “rods,” “St. Joseph's rods cannot be counted,” could hardly be found outside +of the tropics. Religious riddles, relating to beads, bells, church, crucifixes, are common enough and are necessarily due +to outside influence, but even such sometimes show a non-European attitude of mind, metaphorical expression or form of thought. + +</p> +<p id="d0e218">Everywhere riddles vary in quality and value. Many are stupid things, crudely conceived and badly expressed. Only the exceptional +is fine. Examine any page of one of our own riddle books <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e220"></a>Page 9</span>and you may criticize almost every riddle upon it for view-point, or form, or flavor. We must not demand more from Filipino +riddles than from our own. Some knowledge of local products, customs, conditions, is necessary for the understanding of their +meaning; when understood, they are fully equal to ours in shrewdness, wit and expression. Krauss emphasizes the fact that +everywhere riddles tend to coarseness and even to obscenity and discusses the reasons. What is true elsewhere is true here; +a considerable number of Filipino riddles are coarse; we have introduced them but emphasize the fact that any scientifically +formed collection of German or English riddles would contain some quite as bad. + +</p> +<p id="d0e222">Probably few of our readers have considered the taxonomy of riddles. Friedreich offers a loose and unscientific classification +as follows: + + +</p> +<ul id="d0e224"> +<li id="d0e225">I. The Question Riddle. + +</li> +<li id="d0e227">II. The Simple Word Riddle (with seven sub-divisions). + +</li> +<li id="d0e229">III. The Syllable Riddle or Charade. + +</li> +<li id="d0e231">IV. The Letter Riddle. + +<ul id="d0e233"> +<li id="d0e234">1. With reference to sound. + +</li> +<li id="d0e236">2. With reference to form. + +</li> +</ul> + +</li> +<li id="d0e239">V. Punctuation Riddles. + +</li> +<li id="d0e241">VI. The Rebus. + +</li> +<li id="d0e243">VII. Complex Riddles; combination of two or more simple types. + +</li> +<li id="d0e245">VIII. Number Riddles.</li> +</ul><p> + +<span class="pageno"><a id="d0e248"></a>Page 10</span></p> +<p id="d0e249">Several of these forms occur in our collection. + +</p> +<p id="d0e251">More scientific than Friedreich's work is Petsch's <i>Studien über das Volksrätsel</i>. His analysis and dissection of riddle forms best enable us to test the indigenous content of our Filipino riddles. He recognizes +two fundamental riddle types. He says: “Two groups of riddles have long been distinguished in the collections, the true rhymed +riddles and the short ‘catch-questions’ expressed in prose. The difference is not only in form but in content. ‘True riddles’ +have as purpose the describing of an object in veiled, thought-arousing, perhaps misleading, poetical clothing, which, from +this presentation of its appearance, its source, its utility, etc., shall be recognized by the intelligence, i.e., can and +shall be guessed. ‘Catch-questions,’ on the contrary, are not to be guessed, the questioner intending himself to give the +solution; at their best they are intended to trick the hearer, and since their solution is impossible to the uninitiated are +not ‘true riddles’ but false ones. Since I propose to divide the total riddle material of each single nation between these +<span class="pageno"><a id="d0e256"></a>Page 11</span>two great chief groups, may I not somewhat extend the scope of the latter, including some things which are rejected from most +collections as having little to do with actual riddles—those questions which are generally insoluble and such tests of wisdom +as appeal not to wit and understanding, but to knowledge—which are certainly not true riddles. Thus, in the group here characterized +as ‘false’ different classes of things are brought together, the characteristics of which I shall investigate later.” It would +be interesting to quote the author's discussion further. We can, however, only state that he recognizes three classes of “false +riddles,” to which he gives the names “wisdom tests,” “life-ransoming riddles,” and “catch-questions.” + +</p> +<p id="d0e258">Of “true riddles” there is a vast variety of form and content. Most typical is the descriptive riddle of a single object to +be guessed. In its complete and normal form Petsch claims that such a riddle consists of five elements or parts. 1 Introduction; +2 denominative; 3 descriptive; 4 restraint or contrast; 5 conclusion. 1 and 5 are merely formal, trimmings; 2 and 3 are inherent +and essential; 4 is common and adds vigor and interest. Such complete and “normal” <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e260"></a>Page 12</span>riddles are rare in any language. Usually one or more of the five elements are lacking. It is only by such an analysis of +riddle forms that a comparative study of riddles can be made. Any single riddle is best understood, by the constant holding +before the mind this pattern framework and noting the degree of development of the case in hand. + +</p> +<p id="d0e262">The Filipinos themselves recognize several classes of riddles. An old Tagal lady told us there were three kinds: + + +</p> +<ul id="d0e264"> +<li id="d0e265">1. <i>Alo-divino</i>: concerning God and divine things + +</li> +<li id="d0e270">2. <i>Alo-humano</i>: concerning persons + +</li> +<li id="d0e275">3. <i>Parabula</i>: all others +</li> +</ul><p> + + +</p> +<p id="d0e281">There is no science in this classification, which embodies considerable corrupted Spanish. Another informant recognizes six +classes: + +</p> +<ul id="d0e283"> +<li id="d0e284">1. <i>Alo-divino</i> + +</li> +<li id="d0e289">2. <i>Historia-vino:</i> history of God and saints + +</li> +<li id="d0e294">3. <i>Alo-humano</i> + +</li> +<li id="d0e299">4. <i>Historia-mano</i>: history of persons. + +</li> +<li id="d0e304">5. <i>Karle-mano</i>: God and saints and persons together. + +</li> +<li id="d0e309">6. <i>Parabula</i> or <i>biniyabas</i>. +</li> +</ul><p> + +</p> +<p id="d0e318">These names call for little comment and the classification they embody is of the loosest. The word <i>parabula</i> is <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e323"></a>Page 13</span>Spanish in source and equivalent to our parable; <i>biniyabas</i> is Tagal. + +</p> +<p id="d0e328">Some features of our riddles call for comment. Filipino riddles, in whatever language, are likely to be in poetical form. +The commonest type is in two well-balanced, rhyming lines. Filipino versification is less exacting in its demand in rhyme +than our own; it is sufficient if the final syllables contain the same vowel; thus Rizal says—<i>ayup</i> and <i>pagud</i>, <i>aval</i> and <i>alam</i>, rhyme. The commonest riddle verse contains five or seven, or six, syllables, thus: + +</p> +<p class="poetry"><br id="d0e343">Daluang balon +<br id="d0e345">hindi malingon +</p> +<p id="d0e347">or + +</p> +<p class="poetry"><br id="d0e350">Bahay ni San Gabriel +<br id="d0e352">punong puno nang barel. +</p> +<p id="d0e354">Just as in European riddles certain set phrases or sentences are found frequently at the beginning or end of the riddle. In +Ilocano and Pangasinan a common introductory form is “What creature of God” or “What thing made by Lord God,” the expression +in reality being equivalent to a simple “what.” These pious forms do not at all necessarily refer either to animals or natural +objects; thus, a boat or a house is just as good a “creature of God” as a fowl is. A common form of ending <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e356"></a>Page 14</span>is “Tell it and I am yours,” “Guess it and I am your man.” + +</p> +<p id="d0e358">Quite analogous to calling inanimate or artificial things “creatures of God” is the personification of all sorts of things, +animate and inanimate; thus, a rat is “an old man,” a dipper is “a boy.” Not infrequently the object or idea thus personified +is given a title of respect; thus, “Corporal Black” is the night. Akin to personification is bold metaphor and association. +In this there may or may not be some evident analogy; thus a crawfish is “a bird,” the banca or canoe is “rung” (like a bell.) +Not uncommonly the word “house” is used of anything thought of as containing something; thus “Santa Ana's house,” “San Gabriel's +house;” this use is particularly used in speaking of fruits. “Santa Ana's house is full of bullets” is rather pretty description +for the papaya. The word “work” is often used for a thing made, or a manufactured article. + +</p> +<p id="d0e360">Saints' names are constantly introduced, generally in the possessive case; examples are “Santa Ana's house,” “Santa Maria's +umbrella,” “San Jose's canes.” Less commonly the names of other Bible worthies occur; thus “Adam's hair.” There is not always +any <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e362"></a>Page 15</span>evident fitness in the selection of the Saint in the connection established. San Jose's connection with rain is suitable enough. +One would need to know a good deal regarding local and popular hagiography in order to see to what degree the selections are +appropriate. + +</p> +<p id="d0e364">Sometimes words without meaning, or with no significance in the connection where they occur are used. These may serve merely +to fill out a line or to meet the demands of metre. Such often appear to be names of the style of “Humpty Dumpty;” these may +be phonetically happy, as similar ones often are in European riddles, fitting well with the word or idea to be called up. +<i>Marabotania</i> is probably meaningless, merely for euphony. Place names with no real connection with the thought are frequently introduced, +as Pantaleon, Mariveles. “<i>Guering-guering</i>” and “<i>Minimin</i>” are merely for sound. + +</p> +<p id="d0e375">Particularly interesting and curious are the <i>historia-vino</i> given in numbers <a id="d0e380" href="#d0e3668">312</a>–<a id="d0e383" href="#d0e3732">317</a>. No doubt there are many such. Those here given were secured from one boy at Malolos. When first examined, I believed the +boy had not understood what I was after. He assured me that they were <i>bugtong</i> and <i>bugtong</i> of the best and finest class. The idea in these <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e392"></a>Page 16</span>is to propound a statement in a paradoxical form, which calls for some reference to a bible story or teaching; the answer +is not immediately clear and demands a commentary which is quite often subtle and ingenious. Friedreich gives examples of +similar expository religious riddles from Europe. + +</p> +<p id="d0e394">A curious group are the relationship riddles, numbers <a id="d0e396" href="#d0e3414">286</a>–<a id="d0e399" href="#d0e3455">289</a>, which closely resemble trick questions among ourselves. The evidence of outside influence is here conclusive in the fact +that the ideas and terms of relationship in them are purely European, in nowise reflecting the characteristic Malayan system +and nomenclature. + +</p> +<p id="d0e402">Some of the riddles are distinctly stupid. “I let the sun shine on your father's back” seems to mean no more than that the +house roof is exposed to the solar rays. It is doubtful whether this means much even in the original Tagal. Of course many +of the riddles demand for their adequate understanding a knowledge of native customs, which the outsider rarely has. Thus, +until one knows a common method of punishing naughty children, the riddle “I have a friend; I do not like to face him” means +nothing. Perhaps the most difficult to adequately present are some plays <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e404"></a>Page 17</span>on words. These frequently need a considerable explanation. In some of these the parts of the word to guess are concealed +in or are suggested by the form of the statement and one must extract them and combine them; such are “<i>iscopidor</i>” and “<i>sampaloc</i>.” In others the play depends upon homophony, the same sound or word have different meanings. In yet a third class the answer +is a smart Aleck sort of an affair, “How do you take a deer without net, dogs, spear, or other things for catching?” “Cooked.” +Most inane of all, but with plenty of analogues among ourselves, are those where the answer itself is introduced into the +question with the intention to mislead; “Its skin is green and its flesh is red like a watermelon.” “Watermelon.” + +</p> +<p id="d0e412">Filipino riddles are mostly given out by young people. When several are gathered together they will question and answer; they +are much in vogue when a young gentleman calls upon his sweetheart; among Tagals and Pampangans at least the chief occasion +for giving <i>bugtong</i> is when a little group are watching at night beside a corpse. In propounding a riddle it is not uncommon to challenge attention +by repeating as witty a rhyme, which is quite as often <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e417"></a>Page 18</span>coarse as witty. One Tagal example runs: + + +</p> +<p class="poetry"><br id="d0e420">Bugtong co ka Piro! +<br id="d0e422">Turan mo ka Baldo! +<br id="d0e424">Pag hindi mo naturan +<br id="d0e426">Hindi ca nang iwang; +<br id="d0e428">Pag maturan mo +<br id="d0e430">May tae ang puit mo. +</p> +<p class="poetry"><br id="d0e433">I have a bugtong compadre P! +<br id="d0e435">Guess it compadre B! +<br id="d0e437">If you cannot guess it +<br id="d0e439">You have not cleaned yourself; +<br id="d0e441">If you do not guess it +<br id="d0e443">You are dirty. +</p> +<p id="d0e445">We have mentioned two references to Malay riddles. Of the eight given in Rizal's paper five have been given us by our informants. +As Rizal's entire paper will be reprinted in another volume of this series we have not copied the other three. Sibree's paper +is important for comparison, since it presents matter drawn from the uttermost point of Malaysia, Madagascar, which has been +unaffected by Spanish influence. Sibree's article is translated from a little book by another missionary, the Rev. Louis Dahle. +Dahle's book is entitled <i>Specimens of Malayasy Folklore</i> and its material is presented in Malagasy <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e450"></a>Page 19</span>only. Mr. Sibree translates twenty of his riddles. They are in character and flavor like many of the Filipino riddles. As +Sibree does not give the native text and I have not seen Dahle's book, I cannot know whether they are rhymed. They are all of the type of true riddles to be guessed, descriptions wherein +one or two characteristics or striking features are presented, either directly or figuratively. Examination of this little +series deepens an impression already made by study of our own collection, namely, that the true riddles in our series are +largely original Filipino while the insoluble riddles, the catches, the plays on words, are those where foreign influence +is most evident. Although Sibree's article is easily accessible, we quote a few of these Malagasy examples for comparison. + +</p> +<p id="d0e458">“Cut and no wound seen?” “Water,” is our number <a id="d0e460" href="#d0e2849">231</a>. + +</p> +<p id="d0e463">“The mother says let us stand up, but the children say let us lie across?” “A ladder.” and “At night they come without being +fetched and by day they are lost, without being stolen?” “The stars.” are quite in the style and spirit of Filipino riddles. +Compare “Coarse rafia cloth outside and white robe inside?” “Manioc root” with the “Poor <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e465"></a>Page 20</span>outside; rich within,” “Langca” of the Ilocano. + +</p> +<p id="d0e467">The order of presentation of these riddles has been a considerable problem. To arrange them rigidly in Petsch's order of development +might have been fairly satisfactory but would have rendered the finding of any desired riddle difficult. We have struck out +a crude arrangement in alphabetical order of the English answers, with subdivisions under some general headings. The arrangement +is not scientific nor completely developed, but it will perhaps work fairly well in practice. The original text is first given +for riddle and answer; the English translation of both follows; then are given such explanation and comment as are necessary. +When a riddle occurs in different languages, the text of the question is given in one, but the fact of its occurrence in others +is indicated. + +</p> +<p id="d0e469">We are indebted to many for assistance. The list is too long for individual acknowledgment. To our original Ilocano helpers +this little book is dedicated. To Messrs. George T. Shoens, Francisco A. Santos (Calumpit), Rufino Santos (Arayat) and Conrado +Benitez (Pagsanghan), we are so deeply indebted that their names must be mentioned. To <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e471"></a>Page 21</span>school boys in Agoo, San Fernando (Union), Malolos, Manila and Tayug, we owe many thanks. Would that the publication of this +imperfect collection might lead to their greater interest in a neglected section of their folklore. Some Malay worker ought +to perfect and complete the work here begun. + +</p> +<p id="d0e473">This volume is the first number of a series of little books which the undersigned plans to bring out under the general title +of <span class="smallcaps">Philippine Studies</span>. Each number will treat of a distinct and separate subject; each will be independent. The extent to which the series will +be developed, will depend upon the reception given to it and the degree in which it appears to respond to a real need.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/14358-h/style/amazonia.css b/14358-h/style/amazonia.css new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f3a05a3 --- /dev/null +++ b/14358-h/style/amazonia.css @@ -0,0 +1,26 @@ +/* amazonia.css -- color scheme Amazonia, for use with Gutenberg stylesheet */ + +body +{ + background: #FFFFF5; /* #FFFFF5; very light green */ +} + +body, a.hidden +{ + color: black; +} + +h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, .noteref, span.leftnote, p.legend, hr.noteseparator +{ + color: #880000; /* #880000; brownish red */ +} + +.navline, span.rightnote, span.pageno, span.lineno +{ + color: #808000; /* #808000; olive green */ +} + +a.navline:hover, a.hidden:hover, a.noteref:hover +{ + color: red; +} diff --git a/14358-h/style/arctic.css b/14358-h/style/arctic.css new file mode 100644 index 0000000..63bc14d --- /dev/null +++ b/14358-h/style/arctic.css @@ -0,0 +1,33 @@ +/* arctic.css -- color scheme Arctic, for use with Gutenberg stylesheet */ + +body +{ + background: #FFFFFF; + font-family: Times, serif; +} + +body, a.hidden +{ + color: black; +} + +h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 +{ + color: #001FA4; + font-family: Arial, sans-serif; +} + +.figureHead, .noteref, span.leftnote, p.legend +{ + color: #001FA4; +} + +.navline, span.rightnote, span.pageno, span.lineno +{ + color: #AAAAAA; +} + +a.navline:hover, a.hidden:hover, a.noteref:hover +{ + color: red; +} diff --git a/14358-h/style/borneo.css b/14358-h/style/borneo.css new file mode 100644 index 0000000..51cc9bc --- /dev/null +++ b/14358-h/style/borneo.css @@ -0,0 +1,26 @@ +/* borneo.css -- color scheme Borneo, for use with Gutenberg stylesheet */ + +body +{ + background: #FFFFEE; /* #FFFFEE; light yellowish brown */ +} + +body, a.hidden +{ + color: black; +} + +h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, .noteref, span.leftnote, p.legend +{ + color: #880000; /* #880000; brownish red */ +} + +.navline, span.rightnote, span.pageno +{ + color: #AC8D70; /* #AC8D70; sepia */ +} + +a.navline:hover, a.hidden:hover, a.noteref:hover +{ + color: #D25C00; /* #D25C00; orange brown */ +}

Shoens, +American teacher among the Bisayans. He had made a collection of some +fifty Bisayan riddles and presented a brief paper regarding them at +the Anthropological Conference held at Baguio, under my direction, on +May 12-14, 1908. My own collection was begun among Ilocano of Union +Province from whom about two hundred examples were secured. Others +were later secured from Pangasinan, Gaddang, Pampangan, Bisayan and +Tagal sources. My informants have chiefly been school-boys, who spoke +a little English; they wrote the text of riddle and answer in their +native tongue and then we went over them carefully together to make +an English translation and to get at the meaning. Many Filipinos +know how to read and write their native language, although few have +had actual instruction in doing so. There is no question that errors +and inconsistencies exist in the spelling of these riddles, due to +this lack of instruction and to the fact that the texts have been +written by many different persons. I am myself not acquainted with +any Malay language. I have tried to secure uniformity in spelling +within the limits of each language but have no doubt overlooked many +inconsistencies. The indulgence of competent critics is asked. It has +been our intention throughout to adhere to the _old_ orthography. Thus +the initial _qu_ and the final _ao_ have been preferred. + +The _word_ for riddle varies with the population. In Ilocano it is +_burburtia_, in Pangasinan _boniqueo_, in Tagal _bugtong_, in Gaddang +----, in Pampangan _bugtong_, in Bisayan _tugmahanon_. + +Riddles are common to all mankind. They delighted the old Aryans and +the ancient Greeks as they do the modern Hindu and the Bantu peoples +of darkest Africa. Many writers have defined the riddle. Friedreich +in his _Geschichte des Raethsels_, says: "The riddle is an indirect +presentation of an unknown object, in order that the ingenuity of the +hearer or reader may be exercised in finding it out.... Wolf has given +the following definition: the riddle is a play of wit, which endeavors +to so present an object, by stating its characteristic features and +peculiarities, as to adequately call it before the mind, without, +however, actually naming it." + +The riddles of various Oriental peoples have already been collected +and more or less adequately discussed by authors. Hebrew riddles +occur in the Bible, the best known certainly being Samson's: + + + "Out of the eater came forth meat, + And out of the strong came forth sweetness." + + +Arabic riddles are many and have been considerably studied; Persian +riddles are well known; of Indian riddles at least one collection +has been printed separately under the name _Lakshminatha upasaru_, +a series of Kolarian riddles from Chota Nagpur has been printed as, +also, an interesting article upon Behar riddles; Sanskrit riddles are +numerous and have called for some attention from scholars; a few Gypsy +riddles are known; two recent papers deal with Corean riddles. We know +of but two references to Malayan riddles; one is Rizal, _Specimens +of Tagal Folk-Lore_, the other is Sibree's paper upon the _Oratory, +Songs, Legends, and Folk-Tales of the Malagasy_. This is no doubt +an incomplete bibliography but the field has been sadly neglected +and even to secure this list has demanded much labor. It suffices +to show how deeply the riddle is rooted in Oriental thought and +indicates the probability that riddles were used in Malaysia long +before European contact. + +To what degree Filipino riddles are indigenous and original is an +interesting but difficult question. So far as they are of European +origin or influenced by European thought, they have come from or +been influenced by Spain. Whatever comparison is made should chiefly, +and primarily, be with Spanish riddles. But our available sources of +information regarding Spanish riddles are not numerous. We have only +Demofilo's _Collecion de enigmas y adivinanzas_, printed at Seville +in 1880, and a series of five chap-books from Mexico, entitled _Del +Pegueno Adivinadorcito_, and containing a total of three hundred and +seven riddles. Filipino riddles deal largely with animals, plants and +objects of local character; such must have been made in the Islands +even if influenced by Spanish models and ideas. Some depend upon purely +local customs and conditions--thus numbers 170, 237, etc., could only +originate locally. Some, to which the answers are such words as egg, +needle and thread, etc., (answers common to riddles in all European +lands), may be due to outside influence and may still have some local +or native touch or flavor, in their metaphors; thus No. 102 is actually +our "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall;" the Mexican form runs: + + + "Una arquita muy chiquita + tan blanca como la cal + todo lo saben abrir + pero ninguno cerrar." + + +But the metaphor "the King's limebox" could only occur in a district +of betel-chewing and is a native touch. Many of the Filipino riddles +introduce the names of saints and, to that degree, evidence foreign +influence; but even in such cases there may be local coloring; thus, +calling rain-drops falling "rods," "St. Joseph's rods cannot be +counted," could hardly be found outside of the tropics. Religious +riddles, relating to beads, bells, church, crucifixes, are common +enough and are necessarily due to outside influence, but even such +sometimes show a non-European attitude of mind, metaphorical expression +or form of thought. + +Everywhere riddles vary in quality and value. Many are stupid +things, crudely conceived and badly expressed. Only the exceptional +is fine. Examine any page of one of our own riddle books and you +may criticize almost every riddle upon it for view-point, or form, +or flavor. We must not demand more from Filipino riddles than from +our own. Some knowledge of local products, customs, conditions, is +necessary for the understanding of their meaning; when understood, +they are fully equal to ours in shrewdness, wit and expression. Krauss +emphasizes the fact that everywhere riddles tend to coarseness and +even to obscenity and discusses the reasons. What is true elsewhere +is true here; a considerable number of Filipino riddles are coarse; +we have introduced them but emphasize the fact that any scientifically +formed collection of German or English riddles would contain some +quite as bad. + +Probably few of our readers have considered the taxonomy of +riddles. Friedreich offers a loose and unscientific classification +as follows: + + + I. The Question Riddle. + II. The Simple Word Riddle (with seven sub-divisions). + III. The Syllable Riddle or Charade. + IV. The Letter Riddle. + 1. With reference to sound. + 2. With reference to form. + V. Punctuation Riddles. + VI. The Rebus. + VII. Complex Riddles; combination of two or more simple types. + VIII. Number Riddles. + + +Several of these forms occur in our collection. + +More scientific than Friedreich's work is Petsch's _Studien ueber +das Volksraetsel_. His analysis and dissection of riddle forms best +enable us to test the indigenous content of our Filipino riddles. He +recognizes two fundamental riddle types. He says: "Two groups of +riddles have long been distinguished in the collections, the true +rhymed riddles and the short 'catch-questions' expressed in prose. The +difference is not only in form but in content. 'True riddles' have +as purpose the describing of an object in veiled, thought-arousing, +perhaps misleading, poetical clothing, which, from this presentation of +its appearance, its source, its utility, etc., shall be recognized by +the intelligence, i.e., can and shall be guessed. 'Catch-questions,' +on the contrary, are not to be guessed, the questioner intending +himself to give the solution; at their best they are intended to trick +the hearer, and since their solution is impossible to the uninitiated +are not 'true riddles' but false ones. Since I propose to divide the +total riddle material of each single nation between these two great +chief groups, may I not somewhat extend the scope of the latter, +including some things which are rejected from most collections as +having little to do with actual riddles--those questions which are +generally insoluble and such tests of wisdom as appeal not to wit +and understanding, but to knowledge--which are certainly not true +riddles. Thus, in the group here characterized as 'false' different +classes of things are brought together, the characteristics of which +I shall investigate later." It would be interesting to quote the +author's discussion further. We can, however, only state that he +recognizes three classes of "false riddles," to which he gives the +names "wisdom tests," "life-ransoming riddles," and "catch-questions." + +Of "true riddles" there is a vast variety of form and content. Most +typical is the descriptive riddle of a single object to be guessed. In +its complete and normal form Petsch claims that such a riddle +consists of five elements or parts. 1 Introduction; 2 denominative; +3 descriptive; 4 restraint or contrast; 5 conclusion. 1 and 5 are +merely formal, trimmings; 2 and 3 are inherent and essential; 4 +is common and adds vigor and interest. Such complete and "normal" +riddles are rare in any language. Usually one or more of the five +elements are lacking. It is only by such an analysis of riddle forms +that a comparative study of riddles can be made. Any single riddle is +best understood, by the constant holding before the mind this pattern +framework and noting the degree of development of the case in hand. + +The Filipinos themselves recognize several classes of riddles. An +old Tagal lady told us there were three kinds: + + + + 1. _Alo-divino_: concerning God and divine things + 2. _Alo-humano_: concerning persons + 3. _Parabula_: all others + + + +There is no science in this classification, which embodies considerable +corrupted Spanish. Another informant recognizes six classes: + + + 1. _Alo-divino_ + 2. _Historia-vino:_ history of God and saints + 3. _Alo-humano_ + 4. _Historia-mano_: history of persons. + 5. _Karle-mano_: God and saints and persons together. + 6. _Parabula_ or _biniyabas_. + + +These names call for little comment and the classification they +embody is of the loosest. The word _parabula_ is Spanish in source +and equivalent to our parable; _biniyabas_ is Tagal. + +Some features of our riddles call for comment. Filipino riddles, in +whatever language, are likely to be in poetical form. The commonest +type is in two well-balanced, rhyming lines. Filipino versification is +less exacting in its demand in rhyme than our own; it is sufficient if +the final syllables contain the same vowel; thus Rizal says--_ayup_ +and _pagud_, _aval_ and _alam_, rhyme. The commonest riddle verse +contains five or seven, or six, syllables, thus: + + + Daluang balon + hindi malingon + +or + + Bahay ni San Gabriel + punong puno nang barel. + + +Just as in European riddles certain set phrases or sentences are +found frequently at the beginning or end of the riddle. In Ilocano +and Pangasinan a common introductory form is "What creature of +God" or "What thing made by Lord God," the expression in reality +being equivalent to a simple "what." These pious forms do not at all +necessarily refer either to animals or natural objects; thus, a boat or +a house is just as good a "creature of God" as a fowl is. A common form +of ending is "Tell it and I am yours," "Guess it and I am your man." + +Quite analogous to calling inanimate or artificial things "creatures +of God" is the personification of all sorts of things, animate and +inanimate; thus, a rat is "an old man," a dipper is "a boy." Not +infrequently the object or idea thus personified is given a title of +respect; thus, "Corporal Black" is the night. Akin to personification +is bold metaphor and association. In this there may or may not be +some evident analogy; thus a crawfish is "a bird," the banca or canoe +is "rung" (like a bell.) Not uncommonly the word "house" is used of +anything thought of as containing something; thus "Santa Ana's house," +"San Gabriel's house;" this use is particularly used in speaking +of fruits. "Santa Ana's house is full of bullets" is rather pretty +description for the papaya. The word "work" is often used for a thing +made, or a manufactured article. + +Saints' names are constantly introduced, generally in the possessive +case; examples are "Santa Ana's house," "Santa Maria's umbrella," +"San Jose's canes." Less commonly the names of other Bible worthies +occur; thus "Adam's hair." There is not always any evident fitness in +the selection of the Saint in the connection established. San Jose's +connection with rain is suitable enough. One would need to know a +good deal regarding local and popular hagiography in order to see to +what degree the selections are appropriate. + +Sometimes words without meaning, or with no significance in the +connection where they occur are used. These may serve merely +to fill out a line or to meet the demands of metre. Such often +appear to be names of the style of "Humpty Dumpty;" these may be +phonetically happy, as similar ones often are in European riddles, +fitting well with the word or idea to be called up. _Marabotania_ +is probably meaningless, merely for euphony. Place names with no real +connection with the thought are frequently introduced, as Pantaleon, +Mariveles. "_Guering-guering_" and "_Minimin_" are merely for sound. + +Particularly interesting and curious are the _historia-vino_ given +in numbers 312-317. No doubt there are many such. Those here given +were secured from one boy at Malolos. When first examined, I believed +the boy had not understood what I was after. He assured me that they +were _bugtong_ and _bugtong_ of the best and finest class. The idea +in these is to propound a statement in a paradoxical form, which +calls for some reference to a bible story or teaching; the answer is +not immediately clear and demands a commentary which is quite often +subtle and ingenious. Friedreich gives examples of similar expository +religious riddles from Europe. + +A curious group are the relationship riddles, numbers 286-289, which +closely resemble trick questions among ourselves. The evidence of +outside influence is here conclusive in the fact that the ideas and +terms of relationship in them are purely European, in nowise reflecting +the characteristic Malayan system and nomenclature. + +Some of the riddles are distinctly stupid. "I let the sun shine on +your father's back" seems to mean no more than that the house roof +is exposed to the solar rays. It is doubtful whether this means much +even in the original Tagal. Of course many of the riddles demand +for their adequate understanding a knowledge of native customs, +which the outsider rarely has. Thus, until one knows a common method +of punishing naughty children, the riddle "I have a friend; I do +not like to face him" means nothing. Perhaps the most difficult to +adequately present are some plays on words. These frequently need a +considerable explanation. In some of these the parts of the word to +guess are concealed in or are suggested by the form of the statement +and one must extract them and combine them; such are "_iscopidor_" and +"_sampaloc_." In others the play depends upon homophony, the same sound +or word have different meanings. In yet a third class the answer is a +smart Aleck sort of an affair, "How do you take a deer without net, +dogs, spear, or other things for catching?" "Cooked." Most inane +of all, but with plenty of analogues among ourselves, are those +where the answer itself is introduced into the question with the +intention to mislead; "Its skin is green and its flesh is red like +a watermelon." "Watermelon." + +Filipino riddles are mostly given out by young people. When several +are gathered together they will question and answer; they are much in +vogue when a young gentleman calls upon his sweetheart; among Tagals +and Pampangans at least the chief occasion for giving _bugtong_ is when +a little group are watching at night beside a corpse. In propounding +a riddle it is not uncommon to challenge attention by repeating as +witty a rhyme, which is quite as often coarse as witty. One Tagal +example runs: + + + Bugtong co ka Piro! + Turan mo ka Baldo! + Pag hindi mo naturan + Hindi ca nang iwang; + Pag maturan mo + May tae ang puit mo. + + + I have a bugtong compadre P! + Guess it compadre B! + If you cannot guess it + You have not cleaned yourself; + If you do not guess it + You are dirty. + + +We have mentioned two references to Malay riddles. Of the eight given +in Rizal's paper five have been given us by our informants. As Rizal's +entire paper will be reprinted in another volume of this series we have +not copied the other three. Sibree's paper is important for comparison, +since it presents matter drawn from the uttermost point of Malaysia, +Madagascar, which has been unaffected by Spanish influence. Sibree's +article is translated from a little book by another missionary, the +Rev. Louis Dahle. Dahle's book is entitled _Specimens of Malayasy +Folklore_ and its material is presented in Malagasy only. Mr. Sibree +translates twenty of his riddles. They are in character and flavor +like many of the Filipino riddles. As Sibree does not give the native +text and I have not seen Dahle's book, I cannot know whether they +are rhymed. They are all of the type of true riddles to be guessed, +descriptions wherein one or two characteristics or striking features +are presented, either directly or figuratively. Examination of this +little series deepens an impression already made by study of our own +collection, namely, that the true riddles in our series are largely +original Filipino while the insoluble riddles, the catches, the plays +on words, are those where foreign influence is most evident. Although +Sibree's article is easily accessible, we quote a few of these Malagasy +examples for comparison. + +"Cut and no wound seen?" "Water," is our number 231. + +"The mother says let us stand up, but the children say let us lie +across?" "A ladder." and "At night they come without being fetched +and by day they are lost, without being stolen?" "The stars." are +quite in the style and spirit of Filipino riddles. Compare "Coarse +rafia cloth outside and white robe inside?" "Manioc root" with the +"Poor outside; rich within," "Langca" of the Ilocano. + +The order of presentation of these riddles has been a considerable +problem. To arrange them rigidly in Petsch's order of development +might have been fairly satisfactory but would have rendered the +finding of any desired riddle difficult. We have struck out a +crude arrangement in alphabetical order of the English answers, +with subdivisions under some general headings. The arrangement is +not scientific nor completely developed, but it will perhaps work +fairly well in practice. The original text is first given for riddle +and answer; the English translation of both follows; then are given +such explanation and comment as are necessary. When a riddle occurs +in different languages, the text of the question is given in one, +but the fact of its occurrence in others is indicated. + +We are indebted to many for assistance. The list is too long for +individual acknowledgment. To our original Ilocano helpers this little +book is dedicated. To Messrs. George T. Shoens, Francisco A. Santos +(Calumpit), Rufino Santos (Arayat) and Conrado Benitez (Pagsanghan), +we are so deeply indebted that their names must be mentioned. To school +boys in Agoo, San Fernando (Union), Malolos, Manila and Tayug, we owe +many thanks. Would that the publication of this imperfect collection +might lead to their greater interest in a neglected section of their +folklore. Some Malay worker ought to perfect and complete the work +here begun. + +This volume is the first number of a series of little books which the +undersigned plans to bring out under the general title of _Philippine +Studies_. Each number will treat of a distinct and separate subject; +each will be independent. The extent to which the series will be +developed, will depend upon the reception given to it and the degree +in which it appears to respond to a real need. Two numbers at any +rate are already arranged and the second should appear within a year. + + +Frederick Starr. + +September, 1909. + + + + +BIBLIOGRAPHY OF WORKS MENTIONED IN THE INTRODUCTION + + +Bernheisel, K.

Shoens, +American teacher among the Bisayans. He had made a collection of some +fifty Bisayan riddles and presented a brief paper regarding them at +the Anthropological Conference held at Baguio, under my direction, on +May 12-14, 1908. My own collection was begun among Ilocano of Union +Province from whom about two hundred examples were secured. Others +were later secured from Pangasinan, Gaddang, Pampangan, Bisayan and +Tagal sources. My informants have chiefly been school-boys, who spoke +a little English; they wrote the text of riddle and answer in their +native tongue and then we went over them carefully together to make +an English translation and to get at the meaning. Many Filipinos +know how to read and write their native language, although few have +had actual instruction in doing so. There is no question that errors +and inconsistencies exist in the spelling of these riddles, due to +this lack of instruction and to the fact that the texts have been +written by many different persons. I am myself not acquainted with +any Malay language. I have tried to secure uniformity in spelling +within the limits of each language but have no doubt overlooked many +inconsistencies. The indulgence of competent critics is asked. It has +been our intention throughout to adhere to the _old_ orthography. Thus +the initial _qu_ and the final _ao_ have been preferred. + +The _word_ for riddle varies with the population. In Ilocano it is +_burburtia_, in Pangasinan _boniqueo_, in Tagal _bugtong_, in Gaddang +----, in Pampangan _bugtong_, in Bisayan _tugmahanon_. + +Riddles are common to all mankind. They delighted the old Aryans and +the ancient Greeks as they do the modern Hindu and the Bantu peoples +of darkest Africa. Many writers have defined the riddle. Friedreich +in his _Geschichte des Räthsels_, says: "The riddle is an indirect +presentation of an unknown object, in order that the ingenuity of the +hearer or reader may be exercised in finding it out.... Wolf has given +the following definition: the riddle is a play of wit, which endeavors +to so present an object, by stating its characteristic features and +peculiarities, as to adequately call it before the mind, without, +however, actually naming it." + +The riddles of various Oriental peoples have already been collected +and more or less adequately discussed by authors. Hebrew riddles +occur in the Bible, the best known certainly being Samson's: + + + "Out of the eater came forth meat, + And out of the strong came forth sweetness." + + +Arabic riddles are many and have been considerably studied; Persian +riddles are well known; of Indian riddles at least one collection +has been printed separately under the name _Lakshminatha upasaru_, +a series of Kolarian riddles from Chota Nagpur has been printed as, +also, an interesting article upon Behar riddles; Sanskrit riddles are +numerous and have called for some attention from scholars; a few Gypsy +riddles are known; two recent papers deal with Corean riddles. We know +of but two references to Malayan riddles; one is Rizal, _Specimens +of Tagal Folk-Lore_, the other is Sibree's paper upon the _Oratory, +Songs, Legends, and Folk-Tales of the Malagasy_. This is no doubt +an incomplete bibliography but the field has been sadly neglected +and even to secure this list has demanded much labor. It suffices +to show how deeply the riddle is rooted in Oriental thought and +indicates the probability that riddles were used in Malaysia long +before European contact. + +To what degree Filipino riddles are indigenous and original is an +interesting but difficult question. So far as they are of European +origin or influenced by European thought, they have come from or +been influenced by Spain. Whatever comparison is made should chiefly, +and primarily, be with Spanish riddles. But our available sources of +information regarding Spanish riddles are not numerous. We have only +Demofilo's _Collecion de enigmas y adivinanzas_, printed at Seville +in 1880, and a series of five chap-books from Mexico, entitled _Del +Pegueño Adivinadorcito_, and containing a total of three hundred and +seven riddles. Filipino riddles deal largely with animals, plants and +objects of local character; such must have been made in the Islands +even if influenced by Spanish models and ideas. Some depend upon purely +local customs and conditions--thus numbers 170, 237, etc., could only +originate locally. Some, to which the answers are such words as egg, +needle and thread, etc., (answers common to riddles in all European +lands), may be due to outside influence and may still have some local +or native touch or flavor, in their metaphors; thus No. 102 is actually +our "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall;" the Mexican form runs: + + + "Una arquita muy chiquita + tan blanca como la cal + todo lo saben abrir + pero ninguno cerrar." + + +But the metaphor "the King's limebox" could only occur in a district +of betel-chewing and is a native touch. Many of the Filipino riddles +introduce the names of saints and, to that degree, evidence foreign +influence; but even in such cases there may be local coloring; thus, +calling rain-drops falling "rods," "St. Joseph's rods cannot be +counted," could hardly be found outside of the tropics. Religious +riddles, relating to beads, bells, church, crucifixes, are common +enough and are necessarily due to outside influence, but even such +sometimes show a non-European attitude of mind, metaphorical expression +or form of thought. + +Everywhere riddles vary in quality and value. Many are stupid +things, crudely conceived and badly expressed. Only the exceptional +is fine. Examine any page of one of our own riddle books and you +may criticize almost every riddle upon it for view-point, or form, +or flavor. We must not demand more from Filipino riddles than from +our own. Some knowledge of local products, customs, conditions, is +necessary for the understanding of their meaning; when understood, +they are fully equal to ours in shrewdness, wit and expression. Krauss +emphasizes the fact that everywhere riddles tend to coarseness and +even to obscenity and discusses the reasons. What is true elsewhere +is true here; a considerable number of Filipino riddles are coarse; +we have introduced them but emphasize the fact that any scientifically +formed collection of German or English riddles would contain some +quite as bad. + +Probably few of our readers have considered the taxonomy of +riddles. Friedreich offers a loose and unscientific classification +as follows: + + + I. The Question Riddle. + II. The Simple Word Riddle (with seven sub-divisions). + III. The Syllable Riddle or Charade. + IV. The Letter Riddle. + 1. With reference to sound. + 2. With reference to form. + V. Punctuation Riddles. + VI. The Rebus. + VII. Complex Riddles; combination of two or more simple types. + VIII. Number Riddles. + + +Several of these forms occur in our collection. + +More scientific than Friedreich's work is Petsch's _Studien über +das Volksrätsel_. His analysis and dissection of riddle forms best +enable us to test the indigenous content of our Filipino riddles. He +recognizes two fundamental riddle types. He says: "Two groups of +riddles have long been distinguished in the collections, the true +rhymed riddles and the short 'catch-questions' expressed in prose. The +difference is not only in form but in content. 'True riddles' have +as purpose the describing of an object in veiled, thought-arousing, +perhaps misleading, poetical clothing, which, from this presentation of +its appearance, its source, its utility, etc., shall be recognized by +the intelligence, i.e., can and shall be guessed. 'Catch-questions,' +on the contrary, are not to be guessed, the questioner intending +himself to give the solution; at their best they are intended to trick +the hearer, and since their solution is impossible to the uninitiated +are not 'true riddles' but false ones. Since I propose to divide the +total riddle material of each single nation between these two great +chief groups, may I not somewhat extend the scope of the latter, +including some things which are rejected from most collections as +having little to do with actual riddles--those questions which are +generally insoluble and such tests of wisdom as appeal not to wit +and understanding, but to knowledge--which are certainly not true +riddles. Thus, in the group here characterized as 'false' different +classes of things are brought together, the characteristics of which +I shall investigate later." It would be interesting to quote the +author's discussion further. We can, however, only state that he +recognizes three classes of "false riddles," to which he gives the +names "wisdom tests," "life-ransoming riddles," and "catch-questions." + +Of "true riddles" there is a vast variety of form and content. Most +typical is the descriptive riddle of a single object to be guessed. In +its complete and normal form Petsch claims that such a riddle +consists of five elements or parts. 1 Introduction; 2 denominative; +3 descriptive; 4 restraint or contrast; 5 conclusion. 1 and 5 are +merely formal, trimmings; 2 and 3 are inherent and essential; 4 +is common and adds vigor and interest. Such complete and "normal" +riddles are rare in any language. Usually one or more of the five +elements are lacking. It is only by such an analysis of riddle forms +that a comparative study of riddles can be made. Any single riddle is +best understood, by the constant holding before the mind this pattern +framework and noting the degree of development of the case in hand. + +The Filipinos themselves recognize several classes of riddles. An +old Tagal lady told us there were three kinds: + + + + 1. _Alo-divino_: concerning God and divine things + 2. _Alo-humano_: concerning persons + 3. _Parabula_: all others + + + +There is no science in this classification, which embodies considerable +corrupted Spanish. Another informant recognizes six classes: + + + 1. _Alo-divino_ + 2. _Historia-vino:_ history of God and saints + 3. _Alo-humano_ + 4. _Historia-mano_: history of persons. + 5. _Karle-mano_: God and saints and persons together. + 6. _Parabula_ or _biniyabas_. + + +These names call for little comment and the classification they +embody is of the loosest. The word _parabula_ is Spanish in source +and equivalent to our parable; _biniyabas_ is Tagal. + +Some features of our riddles call for comment. Filipino riddles, in +whatever language, are likely to be in poetical form. The commonest +type is in two well-balanced, rhyming lines. Filipino versification is +less exacting in its demand in rhyme than our own; it is sufficient if +the final syllables contain the same vowel; thus Rizal says--_ayup_ +and _pagud_, _aval_ and _alam_, rhyme. The commonest riddle verse +contains five or seven, or six, syllables, thus: + + + Daluang balon + hindi malingon + +or + + Bahay ni San Gabriel + punong puno nang barel. + + +Just as in European riddles certain set phrases or sentences are +found frequently at the beginning or end of the riddle. In Ilocano +and Pangasinan a common introductory form is "What creature of +God" or "What thing made by Lord God," the expression in reality +being equivalent to a simple "what." These pious forms do not at all +necessarily refer either to animals or natural objects; thus, a boat or +a house is just as good a "creature of God" as a fowl is. A common form +of ending is "Tell it and I am yours," "Guess it and I am your man." + +Quite analogous to calling inanimate or artificial things "creatures +of God" is the personification of all sorts of things, animate and +inanimate; thus, a rat is "an old man," a dipper is "a boy." Not +infrequently the object or idea thus personified is given a title of +respect; thus, "Corporal Black" is the night. Akin to personification +is bold metaphor and association. In this there may or may not be +some evident analogy; thus a crawfish is "a bird," the banca or canoe +is "rung" (like a bell.) Not uncommonly the word "house" is used of +anything thought of as containing something; thus "Santa Ana's house," +"San Gabriel's house;" this use is particularly used in speaking +of fruits. "Santa Ana's house is full of bullets" is rather pretty +description for the papaya. The word "work" is often used for a thing +made, or a manufactured article. + +Saints' names are constantly introduced, generally in the possessive +case; examples are "Santa Ana's house," "Santa Maria's umbrella," +"San Jose's canes." Less commonly the names of other Bible worthies +occur; thus "Adam's hair." There is not always any evident fitness in +the selection of the Saint in the connection established. San Jose's +connection with rain is suitable enough. One would need to know a +good deal regarding local and popular hagiography in order to see to +what degree the selections are appropriate. + +Sometimes words without meaning, or with no significance in the +connection where they occur are used. These may serve merely +to fill out a line or to meet the demands of metre. Such often +appear to be names of the style of "Humpty Dumpty;" these may be +phonetically happy, as similar ones often are in European riddles, +fitting well with the word or idea to be called up. _Marabotania_ +is probably meaningless, merely for euphony. Place names with no real +connection with the thought are frequently introduced, as Pantaleon, +Mariveles. "_Guering-guering_" and "_Minimin_" are merely for sound. + +Particularly interesting and curious are the _historia-vino_ given +in numbers 312-317. No doubt there are many such. Those here given +were secured from one boy at Malolos. When first examined, I believed +the boy had not understood what I was after. He assured me that they +were _bugtong_ and _bugtong_ of the best and finest class. The idea +in these is to propound a statement in a paradoxical form, which +calls for some reference to a bible story or teaching; the answer is +not immediately clear and demands a commentary which is quite often +subtle and ingenious. Friedreich gives examples of similar expository +religious riddles from Europe. + +A curious group are the relationship riddles, numbers 286-289, which +closely resemble trick questions among ourselves. The evidence of +outside influence is here conclusive in the fact that the ideas and +terms of relationship in them are purely European, in nowise reflecting +the characteristic Malayan system and nomenclature. + +Some of the riddles are distinctly stupid. "I let the sun shine on +your father's back" seems to mean no more than that the house roof +is exposed to the solar rays. It is doubtful whether this means much +even in the original Tagal. Of course many of the riddles demand +for their adequate understanding a knowledge of native customs, +which the outsider rarely has. Thus, until one knows a common method +of punishing naughty children, the riddle "I have a friend; I do +not like to face him" means nothing. Perhaps the most difficult to +adequately present are some plays on words. These frequently need a +considerable explanation. In some of these the parts of the word to +guess are concealed in or are suggested by the form of the statement +and one must extract them and combine them; such are "_iscopidor_" and +"_sampaloc_." In others the play depends upon homophony, the same sound +or word have different meanings. In yet a third class the answer is a +smart Aleck sort of an affair, "How do you take a deer without net, +dogs, spear, or other things for catching?" "Cooked." Most inane +of all, but with plenty of analogues among ourselves, are those +where the answer itself is introduced into the question with the +intention to mislead; "Its skin is green and its flesh is red like +a watermelon." "Watermelon." + +Filipino riddles are mostly given out by young people. When several +are gathered together they will question and answer; they are much in +vogue when a young gentleman calls upon his sweetheart; among Tagals +and Pampangans at least the chief occasion for giving _bugtong_ is when +a little group are watching at night beside a corpse. In propounding +a riddle it is not uncommon to challenge attention by repeating as +witty a rhyme, which is quite as often coarse as witty. One Tagal +example runs: + + + Bugtong co ka Piro! + Turan mo ka Baldo! + Pag hindi mo naturan + Hindi ca nang iwang; + Pag maturan mo + May tae ang puit mo. + + + I have a bugtong compadre P! + Guess it compadre B! + If you cannot guess it + You have not cleaned yourself; + If you do not guess it + You are dirty. + + +We have mentioned two references to Malay riddles. Of the eight given +in Rizal's paper five have been given us by our informants. As Rizal's +entire paper will be reprinted in another volume of this series we have +not copied the other three. Sibree's paper is important for comparison, +since it presents matter drawn from the uttermost point of Malaysia, +Madagascar, which has been unaffected by Spanish influence. Sibree's +article is translated from a little book by another missionary, the +Rev. Louis Dahle. Dahle's book is entitled _Specimens of Malayasy +Folklore_ and its material is presented in Malagasy only. Mr. Sibree +translates twenty of his riddles. They are in character and flavor +like many of the Filipino riddles. As Sibree does not give the native +text and I have not seen Dahle's book, I cannot know whether they +are rhymed. They are all of the type of true riddles to be guessed, +descriptions wherein one or two characteristics or striking features +are presented, either directly or figuratively. Examination of this +little series deepens an impression already made by study of our own +collection, namely, that the true riddles in our series are largely +original Filipino while the insoluble riddles, the catches, the plays +on words, are those where foreign influence is most evident. Although +Sibree's article is easily accessible, we quote a few of these Malagasy +examples for comparison. + +"Cut and no wound seen?" "Water," is our number 231. + +"The mother says let us stand up, but the children say let us lie +across?" "A ladder." and "At night they come without being fetched +and by day they are lost, without being stolen?" "The stars." are +quite in the style and spirit of Filipino riddles. Compare "Coarse +rafia cloth outside and white robe inside?" "Manioc root" with the +"Poor outside; rich within," "Langca" of the Ilocano. + +The order of presentation of these riddles has been a considerable +problem. To arrange them rigidly in Petsch's order of development +might have been fairly satisfactory but would have rendered the +finding of any desired riddle difficult. We have struck out a +crude arrangement in alphabetical order of the English answers, +with subdivisions under some general headings. The arrangement is +not scientific nor completely developed, but it will perhaps work +fairly well in practice. The original text is first given for riddle +and answer; the English translation of both follows; then are given +such explanation and comment as are necessary. When a riddle occurs +in different languages, the text of the question is given in one, +but the fact of its occurrence in others is indicated. + +We are indebted to many for assistance. The list is too long for +individual acknowledgment. To our original Ilocano helpers this little +book is dedicated. To Messrs. George T. Shoens, Francisco A. Santos +(Calumpit), Rufino Santos (Arayat) and Conrado Benitez (Pagsanghan), +we are so deeply indebted that their names must be mentioned. To school +boys in Agoo, San Fernando (Union), Malolos, Manila and Tayug, we owe +many thanks. Would that the publication of this imperfect collection +might lead to their greater interest in a neglected section of their +folklore. Some Malay worker ought to perfect and complete the work +here begun. + +This volume is the first number of a series of little books which the +undersigned plans to bring out under the general title of _Philippine +Studies_. Each number will treat of a distinct and separate subject; +each will be independent. The extent to which the series will be +developed, will depend upon the reception given to it and the degree +in which it appears to respond to a real need. Two numbers at any +rate are already arranged and the second should appear within a year. + + +Frederick Starr. + +September, 1909. + + + + +BIBLIOGRAPHY OF WORKS MENTIONED IN THE INTRODUCTION + + +Bernheisel, K.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/old/14358-8.zip b/old/14358-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..5ea6a68 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/14358-8.zip diff --git a/old/14358-h.zip b/old/14358-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..91e8807 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/14358-h.zip diff --git a/old/14358-h/14358-h.htm b/old/14358-h/14358-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..577daaf --- /dev/null +++ b/old/14358-h/14358-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,7186 @@ + +<!DOCTYPE html +PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> + +<!-- This HTML file has been automatically generated from an XML source, using XSLT.

Shoens, American teacher among the Bisayans. He had made a collection of some fifty Bisayan riddles and presented a brief +paper regarding them at the Anthropological Conference held at Baguio, under my direction, on May 12–14, 1908. My own collection +was begun among Ilocano of Union Province from whom about two hundred examples were secured. Others were later secured from +Pangasinan, Gaddang, Pampangan, Bisayan and Tagal sources. My informants have chiefly been school-boys, who spoke a little +English; they wrote the text of riddle and answer in their native tongue and then we went over them carefully together to +make an English translation and to get at the meaning. Many Filipinos know how to read and write their native language, although +few have had actual instruction in doing so. There is no question that errors and inconsistencies <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e130"></a>Page 5</span>exist in the spelling of these riddles, due to this lack of instruction and to the fact that the texts have been written by +many different persons. I am myself not acquainted with any Malay language. I have tried to secure uniformity in spelling +within the limits of each language but have no doubt overlooked many inconsistencies. The indulgence of competent critics +is asked. It has been our intention throughout to adhere to the <i>old</i> orthography. Thus the initial <i>qu</i> and the final <i>ao</i> have been preferred. + +</p> +<p id="d0e141">The <i>word</i> for riddle varies with the population. In Ilocano it is <i>burburtia</i>, in Pangasinan <i>boniqueo</i>, in Tagal <i>bugtong</i>, in Gaddang ———, in Pampangan <i>bugtong</i>, in Bisayan <i>tugmahanon</i>. + +</p> +<p id="d0e161">Riddles are common to all mankind. They delighted the old Aryans and the ancient Greeks as they do the modern Hindu and the +Bantu peoples of darkest Africa. Many writers have defined the riddle. Friedreich in his <i>Geschichte des Räthsels</i>, says: “The riddle is an indirect presentation of an unknown object, in order that the ingenuity of the hearer or reader +may be exercised in finding it out.... Wolf has given the following definition: the riddle is a play of wit, which endeavors +to so present <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e166"></a>Page 6</span>an object, by stating its characteristic features and peculiarities, as to adequately call it before the mind, without, however, +actually naming it.” + +</p> +<p id="d0e168">The riddles of various Oriental peoples have already been collected and more or less adequately discussed by authors. Hebrew +riddles occur in the Bible, the best known certainly being Samson's: + + +</p> +<p class="poetry"><br id="d0e171">“Out of the eater came forth meat, +<br id="d0e173">And out of the strong came forth sweetness.” +</p> +<p id="d0e175">Arabic riddles are many and have been considerably studied; Persian riddles are well known; of Indian riddles at least one +collection has been printed separately under the name <i>Lakshminatha upasaru</i>, a series of Kolarian riddles from Chota Nagpur has been printed as, also, an interesting article upon Behar riddles; Sanskrit +riddles are numerous and have called for some attention from scholars; a few Gypsy riddles are known; two recent papers deal +with Corean riddles. We know of but two references to Malayan riddles; one is Rizal, <i>Specimens of Tagal Folk-Lore</i>, the other is Sibree's paper upon the <i>Oratory, Songs, Legends, and Folk-Tales of the Malagasy</i>. This is no doubt an incomplete bibliography but the field has been sadly neglected and even to secure <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e186"></a>Page 7</span>this list has demanded much labor. It suffices to show how deeply the riddle is rooted in Oriental thought and indicates the +probability that riddles were used in Malaysia long before European contact. + +</p> +<p id="d0e188">To what degree Filipino riddles are indigenous and original is an interesting but difficult question. So far as they are of +European origin or influenced by European thought, they have come from or been influenced by Spain. Whatever comparison is +made should chiefly, and primarily, be with Spanish riddles. But our available sources of information regarding Spanish riddles +are not numerous. We have only Demofilo's <i>Collecion de enigmas y adivinanzas</i>, printed at Seville in 1880, and a series of five chap-books from Mexico, entitled <i>Del Pegueño Adivinadorcito</i>, and containing a total of three hundred and seven riddles. Filipino riddles deal largely with animals, plants and objects +of local character; such must have been made in the Islands even if influenced by Spanish models and ideas. Some depend upon +purely local customs and conditions—thus numbers <a id="d0e196" href="#d0e2244">170</a>, <a id="d0e199" href="#d0e2908">237</a>, etc., could only originate locally. Some, to which the answers are such words as egg, needle and thread, etc., (answers +<span class="pageno"><a id="d0e202"></a>Page 8</span>common to riddles in all European lands), may be due to outside influence and may still have some local or native touch or +flavor, in their metaphors; thus No. <a id="d0e204" href="#d0e1527">102</a> is actually our “Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall;” the Mexican form runs: + + +</p> +<p class="poetry"><br id="d0e208">“Una arquita muy chiquita +<br id="d0e210">tan blanca como la cal +<br id="d0e212">todo lo saben abrir +<br id="d0e214">pero ninguno cerrar.” +</p> +<p id="d0e216">But the metaphor “the King's limebox” could only occur in a district of betel-chewing and is a native touch. Many of the Filipino +riddles introduce the names of saints and, to that degree, evidence foreign influence; but even in such cases there may be +local coloring; thus, calling rain-drops falling “rods,” “St. Joseph's rods cannot be counted,” could hardly be found outside +of the tropics. Religious riddles, relating to beads, bells, church, crucifixes, are common enough and are necessarily due +to outside influence, but even such sometimes show a non-European attitude of mind, metaphorical expression or form of thought. + +</p> +<p id="d0e218">Everywhere riddles vary in quality and value. Many are stupid things, crudely conceived and badly expressed. Only the exceptional +is fine. Examine any page of one of our own riddle books <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e220"></a>Page 9</span>and you may criticize almost every riddle upon it for view-point, or form, or flavor. We must not demand more from Filipino +riddles than from our own. Some knowledge of local products, customs, conditions, is necessary for the understanding of their +meaning; when understood, they are fully equal to ours in shrewdness, wit and expression. Krauss emphasizes the fact that +everywhere riddles tend to coarseness and even to obscenity and discusses the reasons. What is true elsewhere is true here; +a considerable number of Filipino riddles are coarse; we have introduced them but emphasize the fact that any scientifically +formed collection of German or English riddles would contain some quite as bad. + +</p> +<p id="d0e222">Probably few of our readers have considered the taxonomy of riddles. Friedreich offers a loose and unscientific classification +as follows: + + +</p> +<ul id="d0e224"> +<li id="d0e225">I. The Question Riddle. + +</li> +<li id="d0e227">II. The Simple Word Riddle (with seven sub-divisions). + +</li> +<li id="d0e229">III. The Syllable Riddle or Charade. + +</li> +<li id="d0e231">IV. The Letter Riddle. + +<ul id="d0e233"> +<li id="d0e234">1. With reference to sound. + +</li> +<li id="d0e236">2. With reference to form. + +</li> +</ul> + +</li> +<li id="d0e239">V. Punctuation Riddles. + +</li> +<li id="d0e241">VI. The Rebus. + +</li> +<li id="d0e243">VII. Complex Riddles; combination of two or more simple types. + +</li> +<li id="d0e245">VIII. Number Riddles.</li> +</ul><p> + +<span class="pageno"><a id="d0e248"></a>Page 10</span></p> +<p id="d0e249">Several of these forms occur in our collection. + +</p> +<p id="d0e251">More scientific than Friedreich's work is Petsch's <i>Studien über das Volksrätsel</i>. His analysis and dissection of riddle forms best enable us to test the indigenous content of our Filipino riddles. He recognizes +two fundamental riddle types. He says: “Two groups of riddles have long been distinguished in the collections, the true rhymed +riddles and the short ‘catch-questions’ expressed in prose. The difference is not only in form but in content. ‘True riddles’ +have as purpose the describing of an object in veiled, thought-arousing, perhaps misleading, poetical clothing, which, from +this presentation of its appearance, its source, its utility, etc., shall be recognized by the intelligence, i.e., can and +shall be guessed. ‘Catch-questions,’ on the contrary, are not to be guessed, the questioner intending himself to give the +solution; at their best they are intended to trick the hearer, and since their solution is impossible to the uninitiated are +not ‘true riddles’ but false ones. Since I propose to divide the total riddle material of each single nation between these +<span class="pageno"><a id="d0e256"></a>Page 11</span>two great chief groups, may I not somewhat extend the scope of the latter, including some things which are rejected from most +collections as having little to do with actual riddles—those questions which are generally insoluble and such tests of wisdom +as appeal not to wit and understanding, but to knowledge—which are certainly not true riddles. Thus, in the group here characterized +as ‘false’ different classes of things are brought together, the characteristics of which I shall investigate later.” It would +be interesting to quote the author's discussion further. We can, however, only state that he recognizes three classes of “false +riddles,” to which he gives the names “wisdom tests,” “life-ransoming riddles,” and “catch-questions.” + +</p> +<p id="d0e258">Of “true riddles” there is a vast variety of form and content. Most typical is the descriptive riddle of a single object to +be guessed. In its complete and normal form Petsch claims that such a riddle consists of five elements or parts. 1 Introduction; +2 denominative; 3 descriptive; 4 restraint or contrast; 5 conclusion. 1 and 5 are merely formal, trimmings; 2 and 3 are inherent +and essential; 4 is common and adds vigor and interest. Such complete and “normal” <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e260"></a>Page 12</span>riddles are rare in any language. Usually one or more of the five elements are lacking. It is only by such an analysis of +riddle forms that a comparative study of riddles can be made. Any single riddle is best understood, by the constant holding +before the mind this pattern framework and noting the degree of development of the case in hand. + +</p> +<p id="d0e262">The Filipinos themselves recognize several classes of riddles. An old Tagal lady told us there were three kinds: + + +</p> +<ul id="d0e264"> +<li id="d0e265">1. <i>Alo-divino</i>: concerning God and divine things + +</li> +<li id="d0e270">2. <i>Alo-humano</i>: concerning persons + +</li> +<li id="d0e275">3. <i>Parabula</i>: all others +</li> +</ul><p> + + +</p> +<p id="d0e281">There is no science in this classification, which embodies considerable corrupted Spanish. Another informant recognizes six +classes: + +</p> +<ul id="d0e283"> +<li id="d0e284">1. <i>Alo-divino</i> + +</li> +<li id="d0e289">2. <i>Historia-vino:</i> history of God and saints + +</li> +<li id="d0e294">3. <i>Alo-humano</i> + +</li> +<li id="d0e299">4. <i>Historia-mano</i>: history of persons. + +</li> +<li id="d0e304">5. <i>Karle-mano</i>: God and saints and persons together. + +</li> +<li id="d0e309">6. <i>Parabula</i> or <i>biniyabas</i>. +</li> +</ul><p> + +</p> +<p id="d0e318">These names call for little comment and the classification they embody is of the loosest. The word <i>parabula</i> is <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e323"></a>Page 13</span>Spanish in source and equivalent to our parable; <i>biniyabas</i> is Tagal. + +</p> +<p id="d0e328">Some features of our riddles call for comment. Filipino riddles, in whatever language, are likely to be in poetical form. +The commonest type is in two well-balanced, rhyming lines. Filipino versification is less exacting in its demand in rhyme +than our own; it is sufficient if the final syllables contain the same vowel; thus Rizal says—<i>ayup</i> and <i>pagud</i>, <i>aval</i> and <i>alam</i>, rhyme. The commonest riddle verse contains five or seven, or six, syllables, thus: + +</p> +<p class="poetry"><br id="d0e343">Daluang balon +<br id="d0e345">hindi malingon +</p> +<p id="d0e347">or + +</p> +<p class="poetry"><br id="d0e350">Bahay ni San Gabriel +<br id="d0e352">punong puno nang barel. +</p> +<p id="d0e354">Just as in European riddles certain set phrases or sentences are found frequently at the beginning or end of the riddle. In +Ilocano and Pangasinan a common introductory form is “What creature of God” or “What thing made by Lord God,” the expression +in reality being equivalent to a simple “what.” These pious forms do not at all necessarily refer either to animals or natural +objects; thus, a boat or a house is just as good a “creature of God” as a fowl is. A common form of ending <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e356"></a>Page 14</span>is “Tell it and I am yours,” “Guess it and I am your man.” + +</p> +<p id="d0e358">Quite analogous to calling inanimate or artificial things “creatures of God” is the personification of all sorts of things, +animate and inanimate; thus, a rat is “an old man,” a dipper is “a boy.” Not infrequently the object or idea thus personified +is given a title of respect; thus, “Corporal Black” is the night. Akin to personification is bold metaphor and association. +In this there may or may not be some evident analogy; thus a crawfish is “a bird,” the banca or canoe is “rung” (like a bell.) +Not uncommonly the word “house” is used of anything thought of as containing something; thus “Santa Ana's house,” “San Gabriel's +house;” this use is particularly used in speaking of fruits. “Santa Ana's house is full of bullets” is rather pretty description +for the papaya. The word “work” is often used for a thing made, or a manufactured article. + +</p> +<p id="d0e360">Saints' names are constantly introduced, generally in the possessive case; examples are “Santa Ana's house,” “Santa Maria's +umbrella,” “San Jose's canes.” Less commonly the names of other Bible worthies occur; thus “Adam's hair.” There is not always +any <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e362"></a>Page 15</span>evident fitness in the selection of the Saint in the connection established. San Jose's connection with rain is suitable enough. +One would need to know a good deal regarding local and popular hagiography in order to see to what degree the selections are +appropriate. + +</p> +<p id="d0e364">Sometimes words without meaning, or with no significance in the connection where they occur are used. These may serve merely +to fill out a line or to meet the demands of metre. Such often appear to be names of the style of “Humpty Dumpty;” these may +be phonetically happy, as similar ones often are in European riddles, fitting well with the word or idea to be called up. +<i>Marabotania</i> is probably meaningless, merely for euphony. Place names with no real connection with the thought are frequently introduced, +as Pantaleon, Mariveles. “<i>Guering-guering</i>” and “<i>Minimin</i>” are merely for sound. + +</p> +<p id="d0e375">Particularly interesting and curious are the <i>historia-vino</i> given in numbers <a id="d0e380" href="#d0e3668">312</a>–<a id="d0e383" href="#d0e3732">317</a>. No doubt there are many such. Those here given were secured from one boy at Malolos. When first examined, I believed the +boy had not understood what I was after. He assured me that they were <i>bugtong</i> and <i>bugtong</i> of the best and finest class. The idea in these <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e392"></a>Page 16</span>is to propound a statement in a paradoxical form, which calls for some reference to a bible story or teaching; the answer +is not immediately clear and demands a commentary which is quite often subtle and ingenious. Friedreich gives examples of +similar expository religious riddles from Europe. + +</p> +<p id="d0e394">A curious group are the relationship riddles, numbers <a id="d0e396" href="#d0e3414">286</a>–<a id="d0e399" href="#d0e3455">289</a>, which closely resemble trick questions among ourselves. The evidence of outside influence is here conclusive in the fact +that the ideas and terms of relationship in them are purely European, in nowise reflecting the characteristic Malayan system +and nomenclature. + +</p> +<p id="d0e402">Some of the riddles are distinctly stupid. “I let the sun shine on your father's back” seems to mean no more than that the +house roof is exposed to the solar rays. It is doubtful whether this means much even in the original Tagal. Of course many +of the riddles demand for their adequate understanding a knowledge of native customs, which the outsider rarely has. Thus, +until one knows a common method of punishing naughty children, the riddle “I have a friend; I do not like to face him” means +nothing. Perhaps the most difficult to adequately present are some plays <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e404"></a>Page 17</span>on words. These frequently need a considerable explanation. In some of these the parts of the word to guess are concealed +in or are suggested by the form of the statement and one must extract them and combine them; such are “<i>iscopidor</i>” and “<i>sampaloc</i>.” In others the play depends upon homophony, the same sound or word have different meanings. In yet a third class the answer +is a smart Aleck sort of an affair, “How do you take a deer without net, dogs, spear, or other things for catching?” “Cooked.” +Most inane of all, but with plenty of analogues among ourselves, are those where the answer itself is introduced into the +question with the intention to mislead; “Its skin is green and its flesh is red like a watermelon.” “Watermelon.” + +</p> +<p id="d0e412">Filipino riddles are mostly given out by young people. When several are gathered together they will question and answer; they +are much in vogue when a young gentleman calls upon his sweetheart; among Tagals and Pampangans at least the chief occasion +for giving <i>bugtong</i> is when a little group are watching at night beside a corpse. In propounding a riddle it is not uncommon to challenge attention +by repeating as witty a rhyme, which is quite as often <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e417"></a>Page 18</span>coarse as witty. One Tagal example runs: + + +</p> +<p class="poetry"><br id="d0e420">Bugtong co ka Piro! +<br id="d0e422">Turan mo ka Baldo! +<br id="d0e424">Pag hindi mo naturan +<br id="d0e426">Hindi ca nang iwang; +<br id="d0e428">Pag maturan mo +<br id="d0e430">May tae ang puit mo. +</p> +<p class="poetry"><br id="d0e433">I have a bugtong compadre P! +<br id="d0e435">Guess it compadre B! +<br id="d0e437">If you cannot guess it +<br id="d0e439">You have not cleaned yourself; +<br id="d0e441">If you do not guess it +<br id="d0e443">You are dirty. +</p> +<p id="d0e445">We have mentioned two references to Malay riddles. Of the eight given in Rizal's paper five have been given us by our informants. +As Rizal's entire paper will be reprinted in another volume of this series we have not copied the other three. Sibree's paper +is important for comparison, since it presents matter drawn from the uttermost point of Malaysia, Madagascar, which has been +unaffected by Spanish influence. Sibree's article is translated from a little book by another missionary, the Rev. Louis Dahle. +Dahle's book is entitled <i>Specimens of Malayasy Folklore</i> and its material is presented in Malagasy <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e450"></a>Page 19</span>only. Mr. Sibree translates twenty of his riddles. They are in character and flavor like many of the Filipino riddles. As +Sibree does not give the native text and I have not seen Dahle's book, I cannot know whether they are rhymed. They are all of the type of true riddles to be guessed, descriptions wherein +one or two characteristics or striking features are presented, either directly or figuratively. Examination of this little +series deepens an impression already made by study of our own collection, namely, that the true riddles in our series are +largely original Filipino while the insoluble riddles, the catches, the plays on words, are those where foreign influence +is most evident. Although Sibree's article is easily accessible, we quote a few of these Malagasy examples for comparison. + +</p> +<p id="d0e458">“Cut and no wound seen?” “Water,” is our number <a id="d0e460" href="#d0e2849">231</a>. + +</p> +<p id="d0e463">“The mother says let us stand up, but the children say let us lie across?” “A ladder.” and “At night they come without being +fetched and by day they are lost, without being stolen?” “The stars.” are quite in the style and spirit of Filipino riddles. +Compare “Coarse rafia cloth outside and white robe inside?” “Manioc root” with the “Poor <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e465"></a>Page 20</span>outside; rich within,” “Langca” of the Ilocano. + +</p> +<p id="d0e467">The order of presentation of these riddles has been a considerable problem. To arrange them rigidly in Petsch's order of development +might have been fairly satisfactory but would have rendered the finding of any desired riddle difficult. We have struck out +a crude arrangement in alphabetical order of the English answers, with subdivisions under some general headings. The arrangement +is not scientific nor completely developed, but it will perhaps work fairly well in practice. The original text is first given +for riddle and answer; the English translation of both follows; then are given such explanation and comment as are necessary. +When a riddle occurs in different languages, the text of the question is given in one, but the fact of its occurrence in others +is indicated. + +</p> +<p id="d0e469">We are indebted to many for assistance. The list is too long for individual acknowledgment. To our original Ilocano helpers +this little book is dedicated. To Messrs. George T. Shoens, Francisco A. Santos (Calumpit), Rufino Santos (Arayat) and Conrado +Benitez (Pagsanghan), we are so deeply indebted that their names must be mentioned. To <span class="pageno"><a id="d0e471"></a>Page 21</span>school boys in Agoo, San Fernando (Union), Malolos, Manila and Tayug, we owe many thanks. Would that the publication of this +imperfect collection might lead to their greater interest in a neglected section of their folklore. Some Malay worker ought +to perfect and complete the work here begun. + +</p> +<p id="d0e473">This volume is the first number of a series of little books which the undersigned plans to bring out under the general title +of <span class="smallcaps">Philippine Studies</span>. Each number will treat of a distinct and separate subject; each will be independent. The extent to which the series will +be developed, will depend upon the reception given to it and the degree in which it appears to respond to a real need. Two +numbers at any rate are already arranged and the second should appear within a year. + +</p> +<p id="d0e478"><span class="smallcaps">Frederick Starr</span>. + +</p> +<p id="d0e482">September, 1909. + +<span class="pageno"><a id="d0e484"></a>Page 22</span></p><a id="d0e485"></a><h1>Bibliography of Works Mentioned in the Introduction</h1> +<p id="d0e488">Bernheisel, K.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/old/14358-h/style/amazonia.css b/old/14358-h/style/amazonia.css new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f3a05a3 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/14358-h/style/amazonia.css @@ -0,0 +1,26 @@ +/* amazonia.css -- color scheme Amazonia, for use with Gutenberg stylesheet */ + +body +{ + background: #FFFFF5; /* #FFFFF5; very light green */ +} + +body, a.hidden +{ + color: black; +} + +h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, .noteref, span.leftnote, p.legend, hr.noteseparator +{ + color: #880000; /* #880000; brownish red */ +} + +.navline, span.rightnote, span.pageno, span.lineno +{ + color: #808000; /* #808000; olive green */ +} + +a.navline:hover, a.hidden:hover, a.noteref:hover +{ + color: red; +} diff --git a/old/14358-h/style/arctic.css b/old/14358-h/style/arctic.css new file mode 100644 index 0000000..63bc14d --- /dev/null +++ b/old/14358-h/style/arctic.css @@ -0,0 +1,33 @@ +/* arctic.css -- color scheme Arctic, for use with Gutenberg stylesheet */ + +body +{ + background: #FFFFFF; + font-family: Times, serif; +} + +body, a.hidden +{ + color: black; +} + +h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 +{ + color: #001FA4; + font-family: Arial, sans-serif; +} + +.figureHead, .noteref, span.leftnote, p.legend +{ + color: #001FA4; +} + +.navline, span.rightnote, span.pageno, span.lineno +{ + color: #AAAAAA; +} + +a.navline:hover, a.hidden:hover, a.noteref:hover +{ + color: red; +} diff --git a/old/14358-h/style/borneo.css b/old/14358-h/style/borneo.css new file mode 100644 index 0000000..51cc9bc --- /dev/null +++ b/old/14358-h/style/borneo.css @@ -0,0 +1,26 @@ +/* borneo.css -- color scheme Borneo, for use with Gutenberg stylesheet */ + +body +{ + background: #FFFFEE; /* #FFFFEE; light yellowish brown */ +} + +body, a.hidden +{ + color: black; +} + +h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, .noteref, span.leftnote, p.legend +{ + color: #880000; /* #880000; brownish red */ +} + +.navline, span.rightnote, span.pageno +{ + color: #AC8D70; /* #AC8D70; sepia */ +} + +a.navline:hover, a.hidden:hover, a.noteref:hover +{ + color: #D25C00; /* #D25C00; orange brown */ +}

Shoens, +American teacher among the Bisayans. He had made a collection of some +fifty Bisayan riddles and presented a brief paper regarding them at +the Anthropological Conference held at Baguio, under my direction, on +May 12-14, 1908. My own collection was begun among Ilocano of Union +Province from whom about two hundred examples were secured. Others +were later secured from Pangasinan, Gaddang, Pampangan, Bisayan and +Tagal sources. My informants have chiefly been school-boys, who spoke +a little English; they wrote the text of riddle and answer in their +native tongue and then we went over them carefully together to make +an English translation and to get at the meaning. Many Filipinos +know how to read and write their native language, although few have +had actual instruction in doing so. There is no question that errors +and inconsistencies exist in the spelling of these riddles, due to +this lack of instruction and to the fact that the texts have been +written by many different persons. I am myself not acquainted with +any Malay language. I have tried to secure uniformity in spelling +within the limits of each language but have no doubt overlooked many +inconsistencies. The indulgence of competent critics is asked. It has +been our intention throughout to adhere to the _old_ orthography. Thus +the initial _qu_ and the final _ao_ have been preferred. + +The _word_ for riddle varies with the population. In Ilocano it is +_burburtia_, in Pangasinan _boniqueo_, in Tagal _bugtong_, in Gaddang +----, in Pampangan _bugtong_, in Bisayan _tugmahanon_. + +Riddles are common to all mankind. They delighted the old Aryans and +the ancient Greeks as they do the modern Hindu and the Bantu peoples +of darkest Africa. Many writers have defined the riddle. Friedreich +in his _Geschichte des Raethsels_, says: "The riddle is an indirect +presentation of an unknown object, in order that the ingenuity of the +hearer or reader may be exercised in finding it out.... Wolf has given +the following definition: the riddle is a play of wit, which endeavors +to so present an object, by stating its characteristic features and +peculiarities, as to adequately call it before the mind, without, +however, actually naming it." + +The riddles of various Oriental peoples have already been collected +and more or less adequately discussed by authors. Hebrew riddles +occur in the Bible, the best known certainly being Samson's: + + + "Out of the eater came forth meat, + And out of the strong came forth sweetness." + + +Arabic riddles are many and have been considerably studied; Persian +riddles are well known; of Indian riddles at least one collection +has been printed separately under the name _Lakshminatha upasaru_, +a series of Kolarian riddles from Chota Nagpur has been printed as, +also, an interesting article upon Behar riddles; Sanskrit riddles are +numerous and have called for some attention from scholars; a few Gypsy +riddles are known; two recent papers deal with Corean riddles. We know +of but two references to Malayan riddles; one is Rizal, _Specimens +of Tagal Folk-Lore_, the other is Sibree's paper upon the _Oratory, +Songs, Legends, and Folk-Tales of the Malagasy_. This is no doubt +an incomplete bibliography but the field has been sadly neglected +and even to secure this list has demanded much labor. It suffices +to show how deeply the riddle is rooted in Oriental thought and +indicates the probability that riddles were used in Malaysia long +before European contact. + +To what degree Filipino riddles are indigenous and original is an +interesting but difficult question. So far as they are of European +origin or influenced by European thought, they have come from or +been influenced by Spain. Whatever comparison is made should chiefly, +and primarily, be with Spanish riddles. But our available sources of +information regarding Spanish riddles are not numerous. We have only +Demofilo's _Collecion de enigmas y adivinanzas_, printed at Seville +in 1880, and a series of five chap-books from Mexico, entitled _Del +Pegueno Adivinadorcito_, and containing a total of three hundred and +seven riddles. Filipino riddles deal largely with animals, plants and +objects of local character; such must have been made in the Islands +even if influenced by Spanish models and ideas. Some depend upon purely +local customs and conditions--thus numbers 170, 237, etc., could only +originate locally. Some, to which the answers are such words as egg, +needle and thread, etc., (answers common to riddles in all European +lands), may be due to outside influence and may still have some local +or native touch or flavor, in their metaphors; thus No. 102 is actually +our "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall;" the Mexican form runs: + + + "Una arquita muy chiquita + tan blanca como la cal + todo lo saben abrir + pero ninguno cerrar." + + +But the metaphor "the King's limebox" could only occur in a district +of betel-chewing and is a native touch. Many of the Filipino riddles +introduce the names of saints and, to that degree, evidence foreign +influence; but even in such cases there may be local coloring; thus, +calling rain-drops falling "rods," "St. Joseph's rods cannot be +counted," could hardly be found outside of the tropics. Religious +riddles, relating to beads, bells, church, crucifixes, are common +enough and are necessarily due to outside influence, but even such +sometimes show a non-European attitude of mind, metaphorical expression +or form of thought. + +Everywhere riddles vary in quality and value. Many are stupid +things, crudely conceived and badly expressed. Only the exceptional +is fine. Examine any page of one of our own riddle books and you +may criticize almost every riddle upon it for view-point, or form, +or flavor. We must not demand more from Filipino riddles than from +our own. Some knowledge of local products, customs, conditions, is +necessary for the understanding of their meaning; when understood, +they are fully equal to ours in shrewdness, wit and expression. Krauss +emphasizes the fact that everywhere riddles tend to coarseness and +even to obscenity and discusses the reasons. What is true elsewhere +is true here; a considerable number of Filipino riddles are coarse; +we have introduced them but emphasize the fact that any scientifically +formed collection of German or English riddles would contain some +quite as bad. + +Probably few of our readers have considered the taxonomy of +riddles. Friedreich offers a loose and unscientific classification +as follows: + + + I. The Question Riddle. + II. The Simple Word Riddle (with seven sub-divisions). + III. The Syllable Riddle or Charade. + IV. The Letter Riddle. + 1. With reference to sound. + 2. With reference to form. + V. Punctuation Riddles. + VI. The Rebus. + VII. Complex Riddles; combination of two or more simple types. + VIII. Number Riddles. + + +Several of these forms occur in our collection. + +More scientific than Friedreich's work is Petsch's _Studien ueber +das Volksraetsel_. His analysis and dissection of riddle forms best +enable us to test the indigenous content of our Filipino riddles. He +recognizes two fundamental riddle types. He says: "Two groups of +riddles have long been distinguished in the collections, the true +rhymed riddles and the short 'catch-questions' expressed in prose. The +difference is not only in form but in content. 'True riddles' have +as purpose the describing of an object in veiled, thought-arousing, +perhaps misleading, poetical clothing, which, from this presentation of +its appearance, its source, its utility, etc., shall be recognized by +the intelligence, i.e., can and shall be guessed. 'Catch-questions,' +on the contrary, are not to be guessed, the questioner intending +himself to give the solution; at their best they are intended to trick +the hearer, and since their solution is impossible to the uninitiated +are not 'true riddles' but false ones. Since I propose to divide the +total riddle material of each single nation between these two great +chief groups, may I not somewhat extend the scope of the latter, +including some things which are rejected from most collections as +having little to do with actual riddles--those questions which are +generally insoluble and such tests of wisdom as appeal not to wit +and understanding, but to knowledge--which are certainly not true +riddles. Thus, in the group here characterized as 'false' different +classes of things are brought together, the characteristics of which +I shall investigate later." It would be interesting to quote the +author's discussion further. We can, however, only state that he +recognizes three classes of "false riddles," to which he gives the +names "wisdom tests," "life-ransoming riddles," and "catch-questions." + +Of "true riddles" there is a vast variety of form and content. Most +typical is the descriptive riddle of a single object to be guessed. In +its complete and normal form Petsch claims that such a riddle +consists of five elements or parts. 1 Introduction; 2 denominative; +3 descriptive; 4 restraint or contrast; 5 conclusion. 1 and 5 are +merely formal, trimmings; 2 and 3 are inherent and essential; 4 +is common and adds vigor and interest. Such complete and "normal" +riddles are rare in any language. Usually one or more of the five +elements are lacking. It is only by such an analysis of riddle forms +that a comparative study of riddles can be made. Any single riddle is +best understood, by the constant holding before the mind this pattern +framework and noting the degree of development of the case in hand. + +The Filipinos themselves recognize several classes of riddles. An +old Tagal lady told us there were three kinds: + + + + 1. _Alo-divino_: concerning God and divine things + 2. _Alo-humano_: concerning persons + 3. _Parabula_: all others + + + +There is no science in this classification, which embodies considerable +corrupted Spanish. Another informant recognizes six classes: + + + 1. _Alo-divino_ + 2. _Historia-vino:_ history of God and saints + 3. _Alo-humano_ + 4. _Historia-mano_: history of persons. + 5. _Karle-mano_: God and saints and persons together. + 6. _Parabula_ or _biniyabas_. + + +These names call for little comment and the classification they +embody is of the loosest. The word _parabula_ is Spanish in source +and equivalent to our parable; _biniyabas_ is Tagal. + +Some features of our riddles call for comment. Filipino riddles, in +whatever language, are likely to be in poetical form. The commonest +type is in two well-balanced, rhyming lines. Filipino versification is +less exacting in its demand in rhyme than our own; it is sufficient if +the final syllables contain the same vowel; thus Rizal says--_ayup_ +and _pagud_, _aval_ and _alam_, rhyme. The commonest riddle verse +contains five or seven, or six, syllables, thus: + + + Daluang balon + hindi malingon + +or + + Bahay ni San Gabriel + punong puno nang barel. + + +Just as in European riddles certain set phrases or sentences are +found frequently at the beginning or end of the riddle. In Ilocano +and Pangasinan a common introductory form is "What creature of +God" or "What thing made by Lord God," the expression in reality +being equivalent to a simple "what." These pious forms do not at all +necessarily refer either to animals or natural objects; thus, a boat or +a house is just as good a "creature of God" as a fowl is. A common form +of ending is "Tell it and I am yours," "Guess it and I am your man." + +Quite analogous to calling inanimate or artificial things "creatures +of God" is the personification of all sorts of things, animate and +inanimate; thus, a rat is "an old man," a dipper is "a boy." Not +infrequently the object or idea thus personified is given a title of +respect; thus, "Corporal Black" is the night. Akin to personification +is bold metaphor and association. In this there may or may not be +some evident analogy; thus a crawfish is "a bird," the banca or canoe +is "rung" (like a bell.) Not uncommonly the word "house" is used of +anything thought of as containing something; thus "Santa Ana's house," +"San Gabriel's house;" this use is particularly used in speaking +of fruits. "Santa Ana's house is full of bullets" is rather pretty +description for the papaya. The word "work" is often used for a thing +made, or a manufactured article. + +Saints' names are constantly introduced, generally in the possessive +case; examples are "Santa Ana's house," "Santa Maria's umbrella," +"San Jose's canes." Less commonly the names of other Bible worthies +occur; thus "Adam's hair." There is not always any evident fitness in +the selection of the Saint in the connection established. San Jose's +connection with rain is suitable enough. One would need to know a +good deal regarding local and popular hagiography in order to see to +what degree the selections are appropriate. + +Sometimes words without meaning, or with no significance in the +connection where they occur are used. These may serve merely +to fill out a line or to meet the demands of metre. Such often +appear to be names of the style of "Humpty Dumpty;" these may be +phonetically happy, as similar ones often are in European riddles, +fitting well with the word or idea to be called up. _Marabotania_ +is probably meaningless, merely for euphony. Place names with no real +connection with the thought are frequently introduced, as Pantaleon, +Mariveles. "_Guering-guering_" and "_Minimin_" are merely for sound. + +Particularly interesting and curious are the _historia-vino_ given +in numbers 312-317. No doubt there are many such. Those here given +were secured from one boy at Malolos. When first examined, I believed +the boy had not understood what I was after. He assured me that they +were _bugtong_ and _bugtong_ of the best and finest class. The idea +in these is to propound a statement in a paradoxical form, which +calls for some reference to a bible story or teaching; the answer is +not immediately clear and demands a commentary which is quite often +subtle and ingenious. Friedreich gives examples of similar expository +religious riddles from Europe. + +A curious group are the relationship riddles, numbers 286-289, which +closely resemble trick questions among ourselves. The evidence of +outside influence is here conclusive in the fact that the ideas and +terms of relationship in them are purely European, in nowise reflecting +the characteristic Malayan system and nomenclature. + +Some of the riddles are distinctly stupid. "I let the sun shine on +your father's back" seems to mean no more than that the house roof +is exposed to the solar rays. It is doubtful whether this means much +even in the original Tagal. Of course many of the riddles demand +for their adequate understanding a knowledge of native customs, +which the outsider rarely has. Thus, until one knows a common method +of punishing naughty children, the riddle "I have a friend; I do +not like to face him" means nothing. Perhaps the most difficult to +adequately present are some plays on words. These frequently need a +considerable explanation. In some of these the parts of the word to +guess are concealed in or are suggested by the form of the statement +and one must extract them and combine them; such are "_iscopidor_" and +"_sampaloc_." In others the play depends upon homophony, the same sound +or word have different meanings. In yet a third class the answer is a +smart Aleck sort of an affair, "How do you take a deer without net, +dogs, spear, or other things for catching?" "Cooked." Most inane +of all, but with plenty of analogues among ourselves, are those +where the answer itself is introduced into the question with the +intention to mislead; "Its skin is green and its flesh is red like +a watermelon." "Watermelon." + +Filipino riddles are mostly given out by young people. When several +are gathered together they will question and answer; they are much in +vogue when a young gentleman calls upon his sweetheart; among Tagals +and Pampangans at least the chief occasion for giving _bugtong_ is when +a little group are watching at night beside a corpse. In propounding +a riddle it is not uncommon to challenge attention by repeating as +witty a rhyme, which is quite as often coarse as witty. One Tagal +example runs: + + + Bugtong co ka Piro! + Turan mo ka Baldo! + Pag hindi mo naturan + Hindi ca nang iwang; + Pag maturan mo + May tae ang puit mo. + + + I have a bugtong compadre P! + Guess it compadre B! + If you cannot guess it + You have not cleaned yourself; + If you do not guess it + You are dirty. + + +We have mentioned two references to Malay riddles. Of the eight given +in Rizal's paper five have been given us by our informants. As Rizal's +entire paper will be reprinted in another volume of this series we have +not copied the other three. Sibree's paper is important for comparison, +since it presents matter drawn from the uttermost point of Malaysia, +Madagascar, which has been unaffected by Spanish influence. Sibree's +article is translated from a little book by another missionary, the +Rev. Louis Dahle. Dahle's book is entitled _Specimens of Malayasy +Folklore_ and its material is presented in Malagasy only. Mr. Sibree +translates twenty of his riddles. They are in character and flavor +like many of the Filipino riddles. As Sibree does not give the native +text and I have not seen Dahle's book, I cannot know whether they +are rhymed. They are all of the type of true riddles to be guessed, +descriptions wherein one or two characteristics or striking features +are presented, either directly or figuratively. Examination of this +little series deepens an impression already made by study of our own +collection, namely, that the true riddles in our series are largely +original Filipino while the insoluble riddles, the catches, the plays +on words, are those where foreign influence is most evident. Although +Sibree's article is easily accessible, we quote a few of these Malagasy +examples for comparison. + +"Cut and no wound seen?" "Water," is our number 231. + +"The mother says let us stand up, but the children say let us lie +across?" "A ladder." and "At night they come without being fetched +and by day they are lost, without being stolen?" "The stars." are +quite in the style and spirit of Filipino riddles. Compare "Coarse +rafia cloth outside and white robe inside?" "Manioc root" with the +"Poor outside; rich within," "Langca" of the Ilocano. + +The order of presentation of these riddles has been a considerable +problem. To arrange them rigidly in Petsch's order of development +might have been fairly satisfactory but would have rendered the +finding of any desired riddle difficult. We have struck out a +crude arrangement in alphabetical order of the English answers, +with subdivisions under some general headings. The arrangement is +not scientific nor completely developed, but it will perhaps work +fairly well in practice. The original text is first given for riddle +and answer; the English translation of both follows; then are given +such explanation and comment as are necessary. When a riddle occurs +in different languages, the text of the question is given in one, +but the fact of its occurrence in others is indicated. + +We are indebted to many for assistance. The list is too long for +individual acknowledgment. To our original Ilocano helpers this little +book is dedicated. To Messrs. George T. Shoens, Francisco A. Santos +(Calumpit), Rufino Santos (Arayat) and Conrado Benitez (Pagsanghan), +we are so deeply indebted that their names must be mentioned. To school +boys in Agoo, San Fernando (Union), Malolos, Manila and Tayug, we owe +many thanks. Would that the publication of this imperfect collection +might lead to their greater interest in a neglected section of their +folklore. Some Malay worker ought to perfect and complete the work +here begun. + +This volume is the first number of a series of little books which the +undersigned plans to bring out under the general title of _Philippine +Studies_. Each number will treat of a distinct and separate subject; +each will be independent. The extent to which the series will be +developed, will depend upon the reception given to it and the degree +in which it appears to respond to a real need. Two numbers at any +rate are already arranged and the second should appear within a year. + + +Frederick Starr. + +September, 1909. + + + + +BIBLIOGRAPHY OF WORKS MENTIONED IN THE INTRODUCTION + + +Bernheisel, K.

It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/old/14358.zip b/old/14358.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..04a0e9c --- /dev/null +++ b/old/14358.zip |
