One day, while Ehp and his grandfather were on a long trip to the Boneyard, Wah Nee grew ill. Wah Nee asked Ehp to stay with him until he returned home to Father, for he was afraid. Ehp daubed Wah Nee's brow with a cool cloth given to him by Acker. Quater opened the sky and let Wah Nee enter. This was the first time Ehp had seen Quater who was far more marvelous than the legends told.

Ehp grew to be a strong and handsome being, much closer in likeness to Bertbert than any generation before him. Ehp became a mighty leader of other beings who saw that he was in favor with Quater. Just as everybody thought that the whole ''each-generation-gets-worse'' thing had finally turned around, Ehp's own creation came out looking like a pile of something badly burned, so he named it, ''Uh Uh.'' Uh Uh was not alive, so it could not begat anything.
