For the Yami, 'domavak' is set as the original place to dwell between sea and mountain. We can understand that 'domavak' is founded on 'tomok' and mountain as the immovable center, and it is regulated by sea-direction and mountain-direction. At the 'domavak', the Yami are satisfied themselves of their center, and, at the same time, they stand on the tension between sea and mountain.
