Aihayuta

In Zuñi mythology, the Aihayuta are a 2nd pair of twin-brother heroes who complement the 1st set of twin-brother heroes, the Ahayuta.
*"Parsons uses "Aihayuta" to refer to the second pair of Twins who were generated at "Hanlhibinkya" while the people were searching for the Center Place."
*"Bunzel (1932 : 597) states that the second pair ... were generated by a waterfall at "Hanlhibinkya"."
*"D. Tedlock (1972 : 225-69) gives the names "Uyuyuwi" and "Ma’asewi" to the pair of Twin who were created while the people were searching for the Center Place". [M.
