Iomante
Iomante is one of the rituals of Ainu, a festival that kills animals such as brown bears and sends their soul, Kamui, to the world of the gods. As a word i meaning "that" + oman "go" + te "What makes it (causative verb endings)" "It" is a euphemism that avoids direct calling of the name of Kamui who is afraid, so Iomante is the meaning of "letting Kamui go" ritual. In addition, the sound y is inserted between i and o at the beginning of the word and it often becomes pronunciation of iyomante = Iyomante. In the case of simply called Iomante, it often points to brown bear Iomante. Originally Kamui can be any Kamui, and in some areas import emphasis on Iumante of the owl owl. There is also Iomante targeting killer whales. ...
