Shoens,\nAmerican teacher among the Bisayans. He had made a collection of some\nfifty Bisayan riddles and presented a brief paper regarding them at\nthe Anthropological Conference held at Baguio, under my direction, on\nMay 12-14, 1908. My own collection was begun among Ilocano of Union\nProvince from whom about two hundred examples were secured. Others\nwere later secured from Pangasinan, Gaddang, Pampangan, Bisayan and\nTagal sources. My informants have chiefly been school-boys, who spoke\na little English; they wrote the text of riddle and answer in their\nnative tongue and then we went over them carefully together to make\nan English translation and to get at the meaning. Many Filipinos\nknow how to read and write their native language, although few have\nhad actual instruction in doing so. There is no question that errors\nand inconsistencies exist in the spelling of these riddles, due to\nthis lack of instruction and to the fact that the texts have been\nwritten by many different persons. I am myself not acquainted with\nany Malay language. I have tried to secure uniformity in spelling\nwithin the limits of each language but have no doubt overlooked many\ninconsistencies. The indulgence of competent critics is asked. It has\nbeen our intention throughout to adhere to the _old_ orthography. Thus\nthe initial _qu_ and the final _ao_ have been preferred.\n\nThe _word_ for riddle varies with the population. In Ilocano it is\n_burburtia_, in Pangasinan _boniqueo_, in Tagal _bugtong_, in Gaddang\n----, in Pampangan _bugtong_, in Bisayan _tugmahanon_.\n\nRiddles are common to all mankind. They delighted the old Aryans and\nthe ancient Greeks as they do the modern Hindu and the Bantu peoples\nof darkest Africa. Many writers have defined the riddle. Friedreich\nin his _Geschichte des R\u00e4thsels_, says: \"The riddle is an indirect\npresentation of an unknown object, in order that the ingenuity of the\nhearer or reader may be exercised in finding it out.... Wolf has given\nthe following definition: the riddle is a play of wit, which endeavors\nto so present an object, by stating its characteristic features and\npeculiarities, as to adequately call it before the mind, without,\nhowever, actually naming it.\"\n\nThe riddles of various Oriental peoples have already been collected\nand more or less adequately discussed by authors. Hebrew riddles\noccur in the Bible, the best known certainly being Samson's:\n\n\n    \"Out of the eater came forth meat,\n    And out of the strong came forth sweetness.\"\n\n\nArabic riddles are many and have been considerably studied; Persian\nriddles are well known; of Indian riddles at least one collection\nhas been printed separately under the name _Lakshminatha upasaru_,\na series of Kolarian riddles from Chota Nagpur has been printed as,\nalso, an interesting article upon Behar riddles; Sanskrit riddles are\nnumerous and have called for some attention from scholars; a few Gypsy\nriddles are known; two recent papers deal with Corean riddles. We know\nof but two references to Malayan riddles; one is Rizal, _Specimens\nof Tagal Folk-Lore_, the other is Sibree's paper upon the _Oratory,\nSongs, Legends, and Folk-Tales of the Malagasy_. This is no doubt\nan incomplete bibliography but the field has been sadly neglected\nand even to secure this list has demanded much labor. It suffices\nto show how deeply the riddle is rooted in Oriental thought and\nindicates the probability that riddles were used in Malaysia long\nbefore European contact.\n\nTo what degree Filipino riddles are indigenous and original is an\ninteresting but difficult question. So far as they are of European\norigin or influenced by European thought, they have come from or\nbeen influenced by Spain. Whatever comparison is made should chiefly,\nand primarily, be with Spanish riddles. But our available sources of\ninformation regarding Spanish riddles are not numerous. We have only\nDemofilo's _Collecion de enigmas y adivinanzas_, printed at Seville\nin 1880, and a series of five chap-books from Mexico, entitled _Del\nPegue\u00f1o Adivinadorcito_, and containing a total of three hundred and\nseven riddles. Filipino riddles deal largely with animals, plants and\nobjects of local character; such must have been made in the Islands\neven if influenced by Spanish models and ideas. Some depend upon purely\nlocal customs and conditions--thus numbers 170, 237, etc., could only\noriginate locally. Some, to which the answers are such words as egg,\nneedle and thread, etc., (answers common to riddles in all European\nlands), may be due to outside influence and may still have some local\nor native touch or flavor, in their metaphors; thus No. 102 is actually\nour \"Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall;\" the Mexican form runs:\n\n\n    \"Una arquita muy chiquita\n    tan blanca como la cal\n    todo lo saben abrir\n    pero ninguno cerrar.\"\n\n\nBut the metaphor \"the King's limebox\" could only occur in a district\nof betel-chewing and is a native touch. Many of the Filipino riddles\nintroduce the names of saints and, to that degree, evidence foreign\ninfluence; but even in such cases there may be local coloring; thus,\ncalling rain-drops falling \"rods,\" \"St. Joseph's rods cannot be\ncounted,\" could hardly be found outside of the tropics. Religious\nriddles, relating to beads, bells, church, crucifixes, are common\nenough and are necessarily due to outside influence, but even such\nsometimes show a non-European attitude of mind, metaphorical expression\nor form of thought.\n\nEverywhere riddles vary in quality and value. Many are stupid\nthings, crudely conceived and badly expressed. Only the exceptional\nis fine. Examine any page of one of our own riddle books and you\nmay criticize almost every riddle upon it for view-point, or form,\nor flavor. We must not demand more from Filipino riddles than from\nour own. Some knowledge of local products, customs, conditions, is\nnecessary for the understanding of their meaning; when understood,\nthey are fully equal to ours in shrewdness, wit and expression. Krauss\nemphasizes the fact that everywhere riddles tend to coarseness and\neven to obscenity and discusses the reasons. What is true elsewhere\nis true here; a considerable number of Filipino riddles are coarse;\nwe have introduced them but emphasize the fact that any scientifically\nformed collection of German or English riddles would contain some\nquite as bad.\n\nProbably few of our readers have considered the taxonomy of\nriddles. Friedreich offers a loose and unscientific classification\nas follows:\n\n\n    I.    The Question Riddle.\n    II.   The Simple Word Riddle (with seven sub-divisions).\n    III.  The Syllable Riddle or Charade.\n    IV.   The Letter Riddle.\n                1. With reference to sound.\n                2. With reference to form.\n    V.    Punctuation Riddles.\n    VI.   The Rebus.\n    VII.  Complex Riddles; combination of two or more simple types.\n    VIII. Number Riddles.\n\n\nSeveral of these forms occur in our collection.\n\nMore scientific than Friedreich's work is Petsch's _Studien \u00fcber\ndas Volksr\u00e4tsel_. His analysis and dissection of riddle forms best\nenable us to test the indigenous content of our Filipino riddles. He\nrecognizes two fundamental riddle types. He says: \"Two groups of\nriddles have long been distinguished in the collections, the true\nrhymed riddles and the short 'catch-questions' expressed in prose. The\ndifference is not only in form but in content. 'True riddles' have\nas purpose the describing of an object in veiled, thought-arousing,\nperhaps misleading, poetical clothing, which, from this presentation of\nits appearance, its source, its utility, etc., shall be recognized by\nthe intelligence, i.e., can and shall be guessed. 'Catch-questions,'\non the contrary, are not to be guessed, the questioner intending\nhimself to give the solution; at their best they are intended to trick\nthe hearer, and since their solution is impossible to the uninitiated\nare not 'true riddles' but false ones. Since I propose to divide the\ntotal riddle material of each single nation between these two great\nchief groups, may I not somewhat extend the scope of the latter,\nincluding some things which are rejected from most collections as\nhaving little to do with actual riddles--those questions which are\ngenerally insoluble and such tests of wisdom as appeal not to wit\nand understanding, but to knowledge--which are certainly not true\nriddles. Thus, in the group here characterized as 'false' different\nclasses of things are brought together, the characteristics of which\nI shall investigate later.\" It would be interesting to quote the\nauthor's discussion further. We can, however, only state that he\nrecognizes three classes of \"false riddles,\" to which he gives the\nnames \"wisdom tests,\" \"life-ransoming riddles,\" and \"catch-questions.\"\n\nOf \"true riddles\" there is a vast variety of form and content. Most\ntypical is the descriptive riddle of a single object to be guessed. In\nits complete and normal form Petsch claims that such a riddle\nconsists of five elements or parts. 1 Introduction; 2 denominative;\n3 descriptive; 4 restraint or contrast; 5 conclusion. 1 and 5 are\nmerely formal, trimmings; 2 and 3 are inherent and essential; 4\nis common and adds vigor and interest. Such complete and \"normal\"\nriddles are rare in any language. Usually one or more of the five\nelements are lacking. It is only by such an analysis of riddle forms\nthat a comparative study of riddles can be made. Any single riddle is\nbest understood, by the constant holding before the mind this pattern\nframework and noting the degree of development of the case in hand.\n\nThe Filipinos themselves recognize several classes of riddles. An\nold Tagal lady told us there were three kinds:\n\n\n\n    1. _Alo-divino_: concerning God and divine things\n    2. _Alo-humano_: concerning persons\n    3. _Parabula_: all others\n\n\n\nThere is no science in this classification, which embodies considerable\ncorrupted Spanish. Another informant recognizes six classes:\n\n\n    1. _Alo-divino_\n    2. _Historia-vino:_ history of God and saints\n    3. _Alo-humano_\n    4. _Historia-mano_: history of persons.\n    5. _Karle-mano_: God and saints and persons together.\n    6. _Parabula_ or _biniyabas_.\n\n\nThese names call for little comment and the classification they\nembody is of the loosest. The word _parabula_ is Spanish in source\nand equivalent to our parable; _biniyabas_ is Tagal.\n\nSome features of our riddles call for comment. Filipino riddles, in\nwhatever language, are likely to be in poetical form. The commonest\ntype is in two well-balanced, rhyming lines. Filipino versification is\nless exacting in its demand in rhyme than our own; it is sufficient if\nthe final syllables contain the same vowel; thus Rizal says--_ayup_\nand _pagud_, _aval_ and _alam_, rhyme. The commonest riddle verse\ncontains five or seven, or six, syllables, thus:\n\n\n    Daluang balon\n    hindi malingon\n\nor\n\n    Bahay ni San Gabriel\n    punong puno nang barel.\n\n\nJust as in European riddles certain set phrases or sentences are\nfound frequently at the beginning or end of the riddle. In Ilocano\nand Pangasinan a common introductory form is \"What creature of\nGod\" or \"What thing made by Lord God,\" the expression in reality\nbeing equivalent to a simple \"what.\" These pious forms do not at all\nnecessarily refer either to animals or natural objects; thus, a boat or\na house is just as good a \"creature of God\" as a fowl is. A common form\nof ending is \"Tell it and I am yours,\" \"Guess it and I am your man.\"\n\nQuite analogous to calling inanimate or artificial things \"creatures\nof God\" is the personification of all sorts of things, animate and\ninanimate; thus, a rat is \"an old man,\" a dipper is \"a boy.\" Not\ninfrequently the object or idea thus personified is given a title of\nrespect; thus, \"Corporal Black\" is the night. Akin to personification\nis bold metaphor and association. In this there may or may not be\nsome evident analogy; thus a crawfish is \"a bird,\" the banca or canoe\nis \"rung\" (like a bell.) Not uncommonly the word \"house\" is used of\nanything thought of as containing something; thus \"Santa Ana's house,\"\n\"San Gabriel's house;\" this use is particularly used in speaking\nof fruits. \"Santa Ana's house is full of bullets\" is rather pretty\ndescription for the papaya. The word \"work\" is often used for a thing\nmade, or a manufactured article.\n\nSaints' names are constantly introduced, generally in the possessive\ncase; examples are \"Santa Ana's house,\" \"Santa Maria's umbrella,\"\n\"San Jose's canes.\" Less commonly the names of other Bible worthies\noccur; thus \"Adam's hair.\" There is not always any evident fitness in\nthe selection of the Saint in the connection established. San Jose's\nconnection with rain is suitable enough. One would need to know a\ngood deal regarding local and popular hagiography in order to see to\nwhat degree the selections are appropriate.\n\nSometimes words without meaning, or with no significance in the\nconnection where they occur are used. These may serve merely\nto fill out a line or to meet the demands of metre. Such often\nappear to be names of the style of \"Humpty Dumpty;\" these may be\nphonetically happy, as similar ones often are in European riddles,\nfitting well with the word or idea to be called up. _Marabotania_\nis probably meaningless, merely for euphony. Place names with no real\nconnection with the thought are frequently introduced, as Pantaleon,\nMariveles. \"_Guering-guering_\" and \"_Minimin_\" are merely for sound.\n\nParticularly interesting and curious are the _historia-vino_ given\nin numbers 312-317. No doubt there are many such. Those here given\nwere secured from one boy at Malolos. When first examined, I believed\nthe boy had not understood what I was after. He assured me that they\nwere _bugtong_ and _bugtong_ of the best and finest class. The idea\nin these is to propound a statement in a paradoxical form, which\ncalls for some reference to a bible story or teaching; the answer is\nnot immediately clear and demands a commentary which is quite often\nsubtle and ingenious. Friedreich gives examples of similar expository\nreligious riddles from Europe.\n\nA curious group are the relationship riddles, numbers 286-289, which\nclosely resemble trick questions among ourselves. The evidence of\noutside influence is here conclusive in the fact that the ideas and\nterms of relationship in them are purely European, in nowise reflecting\nthe characteristic Malayan system and nomenclature.\n\nSome of the riddles are distinctly stupid. \"I let the sun shine on\nyour father's back\" seems to mean no more than that the house roof\nis exposed to the solar rays. It is doubtful whether this means much\neven in the original Tagal. Of course many of the riddles demand\nfor their adequate understanding a knowledge of native customs,\nwhich the outsider rarely has. Thus, until one knows a common method\nof punishing naughty children, the riddle \"I have a friend; I do\nnot like to face him\" means nothing. Perhaps the most difficult to\nadequately present are some plays on words. These frequently need a\nconsiderable explanation. In some of these the parts of the word to\nguess are concealed in or are suggested by the form of the statement\nand one must extract them and combine them; such are \"_iscopidor_\" and\n\"_sampaloc_.\" In others the play depends upon homophony, the same sound\nor word have different meanings. In yet a third class the answer is a\nsmart Aleck sort of an affair, \"How do you take a deer without net,\ndogs, spear, or other things for catching?\" \"Cooked.\" Most inane\nof all, but with plenty of analogues among ourselves, are those\nwhere the answer itself is introduced into the question with the\nintention to mislead; \"Its skin is green and its flesh is red like\na watermelon.\" \"Watermelon.\"\n\nFilipino riddles are mostly given out by young people. When several\nare gathered together they will question and answer; they are much in\nvogue when a young gentleman calls upon his sweetheart; among Tagals\nand Pampangans at least the chief occasion for giving _bugtong_ is when\na little group are watching at night beside a corpse. In propounding\na riddle it is not uncommon to challenge attention by repeating as\nwitty a rhyme, which is quite as often coarse as witty. One Tagal\nexample runs:\n\n\n    Bugtong co ka Piro!\n    Turan mo ka Baldo!\n    Pag hindi mo naturan\n    Hindi ca nang iwang;\n    Pag maturan mo\n    May tae ang puit mo.\n\n\n    I have a bugtong compadre P!\n    Guess it compadre B!\n    If you cannot guess it\n    You have not cleaned yourself;\n    If you do not guess it\n    You are dirty.\n\n\nWe have mentioned two references to Malay riddles. Of the eight given\nin Rizal's paper five have been given us by our informants. As Rizal's\nentire paper will be reprinted in another volume of this series we have\nnot copied the other three. Sibree's paper is important for comparison,\nsince it presents matter drawn from the uttermost point of Malaysia,\nMadagascar, which has been unaffected by Spanish influence. Sibree's\narticle is translated from a little book by another missionary, the\nRev. Louis Dahle. Dahle's book is entitled _Specimens of Malayasy\nFolklore_ and its material is presented in Malagasy only. Mr. Sibree\ntranslates twenty of his riddles. They are in character and flavor\nlike many of the Filipino riddles. As Sibree does not give the native\ntext and I have not seen Dahle's book, I cannot know whether they\nare rhymed. They are all of the type of true riddles to be guessed,\ndescriptions wherein one or two characteristics or striking features\nare presented, either directly or figuratively. Examination of this\nlittle series deepens an impression already made by study of our own\ncollection, namely, that the true riddles in our series are largely\noriginal Filipino while the insoluble riddles, the catches, the plays\non words, are those where foreign influence is most evident. Although\nSibree's article is easily accessible, we quote a few of these Malagasy\nexamples for comparison.\n\n\"Cut and no wound seen?\" \"Water,\" is our number 231.\n\n\"The mother says let us stand up, but the children say let us lie\nacross?\" \"A ladder.\" and \"At night they come without being fetched\nand by day they are lost, without being stolen?\" \"The stars.\" are\nquite in the style and spirit of Filipino riddles. Compare \"Coarse\nrafia cloth outside and white robe inside?\" \"Manioc root\" with the\n\"Poor outside; rich within,\" \"Langca\" of the Ilocano.\n\nThe order of presentation of these riddles has been a considerable\nproblem. To arrange them rigidly in Petsch's order of development\nmight have been fairly satisfactory but would have rendered the\nfinding of any desired riddle difficult. We have struck out a\ncrude arrangement in alphabetical order of the English answers,\nwith subdivisions under some general headings. The arrangement is\nnot scientific nor completely developed, but it will perhaps work\nfairly well in practice. The original text is first given for riddle\nand answer; the English translation of both follows; then are given\nsuch explanation and comment as are necessary. When a riddle occurs\nin different languages, the text of the question is given in one,\nbut the fact of its occurrence in others is indicated.\n\nWe are indebted to many for assistance. The list is too long for\nindividual acknowledgment. To our original Ilocano helpers this little\nbook is dedicated. To Messrs. George T. Shoens, Francisco A. Santos\n(Calumpit), Rufino Santos (Arayat) and Conrado Benitez (Pagsanghan),\nwe are so deeply indebted that their names must be mentioned. To school\nboys in Agoo, San Fernando (Union), Malolos, Manila and Tayug, we owe\nmany thanks. Would that the publication of this imperfect collection\nmight lead to their greater interest in a neglected section of their\nfolklore. Some Malay worker ought to perfect and complete the work\nhere begun.\n\nThis volume is the first number of a series of little books which the\nundersigned plans to bring out under the general title of _Philippine\nStudies_. Each number will treat of a distinct and separate subject;\neach will be independent. The extent to which the series will be\ndeveloped, will depend upon the reception given to it and the degree\nin which it appears to respond to a real need. Two numbers at any\nrate are already arranged and the second should appear within a year.\n\n\nFrederick Starr.\n\nSeptember, 1909.\n\n\n\n\nBIBLIOGRAPHY OF WORKS MENTIONED IN THE INTRODUCTION\n\n\nBernheisel, K.
