4. To the East. 



Pahahawihiihi Come this way! 



Yoyahiwitaahaahaa Array yourself! 



Pahahawihiihi, ........ Come this way! 



Yoyahiwitaahaahaa, Array yourself! 



Shuhuhhopohoqci, From the east, 



Totoloongwu, A perfect corn ear, (?) 



Tomaciinguu, My clan mother. 



Pohosiowu vohokomuyu, .... Magpie bird, 



Shurunahashayamuyu, In the middle of your tail, 



Ikwiltato, You are carrying. 



Pitohopuhutavi, You have now come, 



Uushikango, . Dressed up to the dance (ceremony); 



Yahapik wolu timahay, .... Yes, well now, to the dance, 



Pahahawihiihi, Come now, 



Timaiwishaahaaha To the dance. 



1. Chochomingwu really means a corn ear filled to the point with kernels. 



2. The word fohko (in compound words vohko) means animal and is used either alone 

 (ivohko, my animal) or in connection with the name of the animal referred to: {ikaway-vohko, my 

 horse animal; itnotdvo/iko, my burro-animal); but is used of birds as well: [iiavamana-vohko, 

 ichoro-vohko, my oriole animal or bird, my bluebird animal or bird) . 



3. These two lines refer in the first place to the two feathers in the middle of the tail of the 

 oriole, which seem to be preferred to the others for ceremonial purposes. But they are also said to 

 refer to newly married women (brides) who are here represented by the different birds (see the dif- 

 ferent verses) and who appear in public on the last day of the Niman (farewell) Katcina ceremony 

 in summer, which is also under the direction of the Powamu fraternity and during which this song 

 is also sung. They are then dressed in their white bridal robe (pwa), to the back of which a strand 

 of yarn is attached on that occasion. The following lines also refer to these brides. 



4. The two words "^aA/i/fe" and "wolu" are exclamations without any special meaning 

 and hence difficult to translate.
