The Flood in World Myth and Folklore
Malaysia, Indonesia, and Philippines |

As a great worldwide flood receded, the mountain Noesake emerged with its sides clothed with trees whose leaves were shaped like female genitalia. Only three people survived on the top of the mountain. The sea-eagle brought tidings of other mountains emerging from the waters, and the people went thither. By means of the remarkable leaves, they repopulated the world.
Frazer, 1919, 223.
