Momolianism generally believes that deities Kinoingan and Sumundu have their complementary roles in the creation of the world and all its contents. However, according to Tan Sri Herman Luping, the name of the Creator God in Kadazandusun is Minamangun, whereas Kinoingan in this sense was introduced by Catholic missionaries. To him, Kinoingan refers to the legendary first male to exist alongside his female counterpart Suminundu.
