9 name GKvetEla also changed their name. | They had no longer the 

 tribal name Kwag"ul, for that was the first tribal name of the ll 

 10 Kwiig'ul; but their tribal name was Kwexamot, because | their 

 chief ^maxwa had been killed. And thus you know how it began | 

 that the Q!5moya^ye have the tribal name Kwexa; for the name | 

 hwexa means that they strike with their walking-sticks whatever is 

 struck by them, and that they | strike with the sword, for it is called 

 15 kwexa to strike with a pole, || as ^maxwa was struck with when he was 

 kUled. That is aU. |
