70 And the names can not be given to the husband of tlie | daughter, 

 none of the whole number of the names, beginning with | the ten- 

 months child's name until he takes the name of his father, the name 

 of the I head chief. These are caUed the "myth names." | 



75 The only names of the head chief of the numayms || that can be 

 given in marriage are the names which he obtains in marriage from 

 his fathers-in-law, and | also the privileges, for he can not give his 

 own privileges to his son-in-law. | 



And when the head chief of a numaym has no | son, and his child 

 is a girl, she takes the place | of her father as head chief; and when 



80 the head chief has no child, ll and the younger brother of the head 

 chief (among the brothers | of the man) has a child, even if she is a 

 girl, then the head chief among the | brothers takes the eldest one of 

 the children of his younger brother, and | places him or lier in his 

 seat as head chief of the numaym. | 



85 Now that finishes our talk about the Eagles, and the || head chiefs 



of the numayms of the GwetEla, for they never change | their order. | 



Now I shall talk about the number of numayms | of the GwetEla 



and about the number of names of the head chiefs, beginning | from 



the time when they are born until they become head chiefs of the || 



90 numajon. |
