southward to the village Tegtixste^ of the Naklwax'da^x"; | another 

 canoe went northward to the village | of the Awlk !enox" at K" !etet. 

 After four days || they came back, and the Awik' !enox" | and Na- 40 

 klwax'da^x" came paddling with them. Then the LEWElaxa song| 

 was sung by the Awik' !euox"; and the ancestors of the Gwa^sEla did 

 not understand | the kind of song sung by the Awik' !enox", the 

 song of the LEWElaxa, | when they arrived in front of the village. 

 The Awik' !enox" landed, Hand also the Nak !wax' da^x" landed. 45 

 They | did not sing when they came. Immediately they were 

 invited in to eat | in the house of LlaqwasgEm (XVI 1) ; and as soon 

 as they were all inside, | the Awik' !enox" began to sing the LEWE- 

 laxa song; I and the cliief of the Awilv' !enox", Llaqwag'ila (XV 4),

 has for his princess l laqwal (XV 5) . || Now, your name shall be 55 

 Hamdzid (XVI 1), for we are descended from the same | ancestors." 

 Thus said Llaqwag'ila (XV 4) to his grandfather. | Immediately 

 LlaqwasgEm (XVI 1) arose and went to the place where Llaqwag'ila 

 (XV 4) was standing; | and LlaqwasgEm (XVI 1) stood by the side
