And they had now the names given as a marriage gift by TslEx^ed 33 

 (114). I 



Haha hanane ! This was the first winter dance of my tribe || the 35 

 Gwa^sEla, on account of my ancestor, the chief, who married the 

 daughters of the | chiefs all over the world. Now, TslEx^ed (II 4) 

 became sick; | and before he died he | asked his son-in-law, XosEm- 

 daas (III 3), to | take his place; and when he stopped speaking, he 

 died. II Now, XosEmdaas (III 3) took his place; and he remained 40 

 among the | Nak !wax' da^x". Now his name was Ts '.Ex^ed (III 3) , and 

 he was I considered as a chief by the ancestors of the Naklwax'da^x". 

 Now, I Yaqoklwalag'ihs (II 1), — for I stop calling him LaleliLladze 

 now — because he received as a marriage gift the name Yaqok !wala- 

 g"ilis, — wished || to go and see the regions to the north, and he lef 45 

 beliind j his prince, TslEx^ed (III 3). | 



Now, he arrived at GweqElis at his own place, | and he built a 

 house there; and with him were his | other children, — ^max'mE- 

 widzEmga (III 4) ; Laqulayugwa (III 5) ; || and also his youngest 50 

 prince, ^maxuyalidze (III 6); and also Lax"lEgwedzEmga (III 7), | 

 the youngest one of his children; and also his wife | Gaaxstalas 

 (II 3), the princess of Hexhakin (I 2). .That was their number. |
