 tavalmyi : k (pt. 7, pp. 340-348) . Hi : wa hira : uk is of interest in this 

 context chiefly by virtue of the fact that it is an infantile equivalent 

 of adult hi: wa neuroses (pt. 3, pp. 90-115), which clearly suggests 

 that extreme jealousy in adulthood is rooted in the infant's unwilling- 

 ness to share the breast.
