The Bat Woman carried Nayénezgani down from the cliff.(Origin Legend III: The War Gods · Part 8)
- With: Nayénezgani
- “He shut his eyes, and soon felt himself gradually going down; but he heard again the strange flapping against the rock, which so excited his curiosity that he opened his eyes. Instantly he began to fall with dangerous rapidity, and the flapping stopped; she struck him with her stick and bade him shut his eyes. Again he felt himself slowly descending, and the flapping against the rock began. Three times more he disobeyed her, but the last time they were near the bottom of the cliff, and both fell to the ground unhurt.”
The Bat Woman's feathers changed into little birds, which flew away and emptied her basket.(Origin Legend III: The War Gods · Part 8)
- “She laid down her basket and watched, helplessly, her feathers changing into little birds of all kinds,--wrens, warblers, titmice, and the like,--and flying away, until her basket was empty. Thus it was that the little birds were created.”

recipient: Nayénezgani “‘Get into this basket, and I will carry you down,’ she demanded.”
