…I means "that" (spiritual being) and "omante" means "to send." In short, Iomante meant a ritual to send off a certain kind of major animal god, which is a spiritual being, to the other world, the world of gods. However, in some regions, the ritual to send off a pet bear (especially a baby bear) is called Iomante, and the ritual to send off a bear god hunted in the mountains is called Kamuy-hopunire. In some regions, the ritual to send off a Blakiston's fish owl, said to be Mosir-kor-kamuy or Kotan-kor-kamuy (god who protects the village), is usually called Mosir-kor-kamuy-hopunire. The ritual of sending off the whales is also called "Iomante," and in many regions the killer whale god, known as "Repun Kamuy (God in the Offshore Sea)," is considered the most important of the sea gods. *Some of the terminology explanations that mention "Kimun Kamui" are listed below.
