 may be thought of as being mounted (kw^piota) on the backs 

 of the cloud deities, as wings on the backs of birds and butter- 

 flies. It is not impossible, however, that this is one of the cases, 

 referred to in the introduction, where reference is made to the 

 clan totem of a closely related clan, in this case the Young

 young corn-ears are nicely mounted on the corn-stalks, or that 

 the corn-stalks are well loaded with ears of corn.
