49 It was impossible to obtain the entire esoteric meaning of this song. ‘‘ Weeping, weeping”’ refers to 
the enemy; they will be fought and then will wail. Maiyd+‘iwd’wi is a grammatical anomaly; w4ni- 
stcikAnéni'i+na is for wAni'kakan**, Other variations require no remarks. 
50 The last line is restored from the song as writtenin the syllabary. 
51 The one blessed has killed many enemies, and is addressing the white buffalo. ‘I have killed many 
enemies for you”’ is the hidden meaning of ‘‘I have given you a feast.”
