Cult. It is taught that in the beginning, when God (Manama) had formed the earth out of rock, he didn't have any soil to cover the rock with. However, the eleggasi had soil. Manama sent a wasp to steal some soil from the eleggasi but it wasn't successful, so he then sent a bird who was able to get a beak full of soil and bring it back to Manama.
