Brother in the Pemón-five-brother set, etymologically "whirlwind" per de Cora 1957. The wind-aligned brother in the etymological-distinguishing-aspect distribution: Makunaima the trickster-actor, Zigué the chigger-parasitic, Wacalambé the whirlwind-meteorological, Anzikilán the partridge-avian, Ma'nápe the melon-seed-agricultural. The five together cover the major elemental/biotic categories of the Pemón cosmological worldview. Wacalambé's wind-aspect connects him to the Pemón cosmological frame in which the breezes that "rustled the Moriche palms that dotted the savannah" emanate from the tepuis (Iru-tepui, Aparmán, Apakará, Chimaté, Auyan-tepui) behind which Wei the Sun hides at night. His specific narrative actions in the cycle are less detailed than Makunaima's or Ma'nápe's, but his presence frames the meteorological accompaniment to the Wazacá-tree-felling and Great Flood events.
