In Inuit mythology, Kadlu refers to one of the trinity of sisters, the 3 goddesses creating thundery weather. She creates thunder by jumping on hollow ice. Her sister Kweetoo creates lightning by rubbing stones against each other. The third sister urinates with profusion which makes rain. The story tells that Kadlu was such a noisy children that her parents command her to play outside. There she invented the described "stormy game" with her sisters.[1]
