In the cosmogony of the Iqwaye, also called Yagwoia, an Angan people of the Menyamya area recorded by Jadran Mimica, the world begins with a single primordial being that is at once one and the totality of things and both male and female. Alone at the beginning, this being brings the cosmos out of its own body: the sun and moon are its two eyes, and the multiplicity of persons together with the very structure of number unfolds from its self-generation. The name is variously transcribed in the literature. The figure anchors Iqwaye understandings of unity and infinity, in which every whole is also the primordial one.
