Double being, rĩxĩ, clay pot of a woman [who lives in a large, distant waterfall]. We Yanomami have rĩxi, a being or animal that is our double. There are many different doubles, such as the bush dog double (Speothos venaticus), the antlered deer double (Odocoileus virginianus), the tapir double (Tapirus terrestris), these doubles, and also the clay pot double and the boa double hokoto kɨkɨ. There are many, but they don't stay near our houses because they are very fierce. These doubles live in a very distant region; they don't live near us. When a double is attacked, any Yanomami can die; their corresponding person will feel an identical effect and will soon die as well. This is how it happens with our rĩxĩ pë doubles.
