  the 
  calling 
  of

  These

  eating 
  of 
  the 
  game 
  

   that 
  had 
  been 
  killed 
  through 
  the 
  magic 
  influence 
  given 
  the 
  hunter 
  to 
  

   call 
  the 
  animals. 
  

  

  When 
  the 
  drum 
  had 
  passed 
  around 
  all 
  the 
  lodges 
  the 
  members 
  took 
  

   oil' 
  their 
  regalia, 
  and 
  while 
  the 
  disrobing 
  was 
  in 
  progess 
  the 
  servants 
  

   brought 
  in 
  the 
  food 
  for 
  the 
  feast. 
  The 
  u'zliu 
  then 
  took 
  a 
  wooden 
  

   spoon, 
  dipped 
  up 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  1 
  troth, 
  and 
  dropped 
  it 
  into 
  the 
  fireplace. 
  

   Then 
  he 
  circled 
  the 
  lire, 
  and 
  when 
  facing 
  the 
  east, 
  took 
  another 
  spoon-
