33 Now I shall talk about him when he was looking for a wife for his 

 prince | Sewid (XVII 2); for he was no longer named Yemask'as^o 



35 Q!omogwa (XVII 1), ll for he had the name Yemask'as^o Q!omogwa 

 only during the LEWElaxa, | and his summer name was Sewid. Then 

 he learned about | ^nax'nag'Em (XVII 3) of the L !aL lasiqwala, the

 qwala to go to GweqElis, the vLUage of | A^maxulai (XVII 2) and his 

 tribe the ancestors of the Gwa^sEla; for A^miixidal (XVII 2) wished |

 dance that they were going to give. Then | A-maxulal (XVII 2) and
