Explanation. 



1 The words of the song are archaic and no explanation of their 

 meaning could thus far be obtained. 2 This word also occurs in the 

 fourth stanza in the same line. One is probably an error. While 

 such errors would perhaps occur seldom in the regular ceremony, 

 where more than one sing, I had to call Wickwaya's attention a num- 

 ber of times to mistakes of this kind, when he sang for me alone, and 

 often had to repeat again and again certain lines or verses by which he, 

 not infrequently, became confused. 3 It has already been noted in 

 connection with another song that where a song has a prelude this is 

 sometimes repeated, usually before the third and fifth stanza.
