 was the younger brother of OmaxtlalaLe^. And Omaxt'.alaLe^ | 

 gave the name G'exsEm to his younger brother. When ^maxwa 

 was killed, | some of the G"exsEm went to the GwetEla of

also went to the | Gosg'imux". The GexsEmx's^anal ai-e 

 G'exsEm, and there are also | G'exsEm of the NaqEmg'ilisala, 

 and G'exsEm of the LlaLlasiqwala, and | G'exsEm of the Na-

Thc}^ scattered to all the tribes beginning | at the time when 

 ^maxwa was killed, for there was only one numaym | G'ig'll-
