When she chopped him up, one half turned out to be human and the other half was an evil spirit.
Когда она его разрубила, одна его половина оказалась человеком, а другая – злым духом.
Cf. a reference in Simonov et al. (1998: 372) about curing a person, possessed by an evil spirit, by means of chopping him in two halves; one of them remains an evil spirit, and the other one becomes a good person. "Образ человека-половинки, наделённого злым духом, ... характерен для фольклора всех тунгусо-маньчжуров. ... В удэгейской версии для излечения от злого духа человека разрубают вдоль на 2 половинки: одна половинка становится хорошим человеком, а другая – злым духом."
