Folklorish

The reporting in the British press at the time cast the local farmers' dismemberment of the wreckage as a kind of folklorish eucharist whereby a peasantry wielding rustic knives divided the body of a fallen god.

Their mythology was a series of inconsequential tales, centring around folklorish birds with human or supernatural powers and clearly more related to the life of land people than to that of the Manus.
