LOA
The supreme deity in the Marshall Islands, Loa dwelt alone in theprimeval sea at the beginning, and through loneliness and boredom created greatreefs and sandbanks, plants and birds, stationing a god at each of the cardinal points. From Loa's leg emerged Wulleb and Limdunanji, the first man and woman. Whentheir offspring conspired to kill his father, Wulleb fled and fell to Earth, where from hisleg came two more sons, Edao and Olofat.
