The repeated expressions include “cree” (opinion), “treme” (tremer), “silba” (whistle) and “he is afraid” (he is scared).

What to do when you see the pombero?
You never have to say his name out loud, talk bad about him, or whistle at night, as these actions infuriate him. You can take revenge by bothering and even hitting someone who does not follow these rules. An easy touch with hairy hands can cause an individual to shed, shed, or experience tremors for a lifetime. If someone imitates his whistle, the pombero can reply in a maddening way. Hence, and in order not to offend him, the faithful choose to name him in a low voice or avoid mentioning him in the nocturnal assemblies. Several present from the camp claim, to this day, that they saw it. It would seem that he also likes to hang out with pregnant women because he thinks he is the father, or mothers with unbaptized babies.
