[edit] pontianak

Pontianak has no fangs.

[edit] Tiyanak connection

The pontiyanak is a woman who died before giving birth while the tiyanak is an unborn child whose mother died before giving birth. I just thought there might be an interesting link between the two. My references on Philippine mythology does not show any link between the two. Maybe on your mythology, you could find such a relationship. --Lenticel (talk) 05:25, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
