Nr. 1 sung by Ulutak against Angioro (p. 30). 
“Am I bold! — I begin to hold drumdance with Angioro — 
I take somebody else’s part, — I take my second-cousin’s place, — 
as you have begun to purpose drumdancing with him — he, who 
since his coming into existence never hurt a body and never was 
able to sing. — It is me you have got to deal with, — I who from 
my coming into existence have been able to act — and who from 
the beginning have been able to sing. — It is all very fine for you 
to purpose singing against a person who never since his coming 
into existence did harm, and who never was able to sing.” — 
Nr. 2 sung by Ulutak against Angioro (p. 31). 
“To-night I dreamt that I was far away, out by the farthest 
livingplace with the dweller of Umivik!). — Notwithstanding that — 
I am not great, my rival made a song in which he accuses me of 
being the son-in-law of ‘the inland-dwellers?) and of being allied to 
them. — You have not been near those who dwell up the country, 
those who are both agile and clever hunters. — I have pondered 
much over your accusations. — As they are only sons-in-law of 
ravens, those in whose presence nothing can be left about, those 
from whom nothing can be kept away, I compare you’ to these. — 
You to whom one dare not show a thing and for whom nothing 
can be hidden.” —

Nr. 3 sung by Ulutak against Avgo (p. 31). 
“T used to sing in my house when starving as usually. Why: 
did I bring my drumsong (kompuise) along with me here where I 
do not hunger so much, because I have begun to feed on these 
strandthings?'). — What can be the matter with the weather? — 
Who shall do something to that? — The Inersuak?) of the sleet, 
the Inersuak of the rain. — Let these latter do something to it, let 
Avgo do something to it. — No! He (Avgo), for all that, cannot 
be even with (cannot be compared with) the Inersuak of the 
sleet, the Inersuak of the rain. — But he will only try and com- 
pete with it. — Yes! You began to sing against it; by letting it out 
of the kayak you began to sing against it. — Come! Let me also 
get out of the kayak. — I conjure often, do you say? If I conjure, 
still I do not catch for all that. — Yet I used to be told that Ilit- 
sitsoks”) are in the habit of catching. 
1) Strandthings: Algae (Delesseria, Laminaria, Rhodymenia), snails and mussels. 
The song is composed in the springtime immeadiately previously to the moving out
