2 The attributive suffiv -gon:l' with the noun warrior does not refer to the size of the warrior but 

 rather to the importance of his position. Its usual meaning is large or great in size or quantity, but 

 here forms a title, the great warrior, i. e., one who is a leader or assistant to the chief of his clan.
