N1  - The o-log is a dormitory where Bontoc girls stay from age two until they marry. It is a small stone structure with mud walls and a grass roof. A grown person can seldom stand erect inside. Occupying almost all the floor space are boards that serve as beds for the girls.
   Unlike the fawi or pabafunan(men's house), the o-log has neither an adjoining court nor shady surroundings, for this is built to house its occupants only at night, since the women work all day long in the field.  Some pueblos, however, do not have o-log and the girls of the said locality occupy the sleeping quarters of the adjacent a-to; print
