8 numaym G'lg'ilgam of the Gwa^sEla. | PladzEse ^maxwa (XXI 1) 

 and his wife MEhied (XXI 2) were not married long, | when they had 



10 a daughter. Then Sewid (XX 4) gave as a marriage gift ]| the valu- 

 able copper Sea-Lion, and the name Llaqwaga (XXII 1) to be the | 

 name of the daughter of his princess Mfilned (XXI 2) . And l laqwaga 

 (XXII 1), I although she was a woman, gave away what was paid 

 by the chief of the numaym | Ts!ets!Emelcqala of the Naklwax"- 

 da^x" — seven thousand | woolen blankets — for HaqElal had bought 



15 the copper Sea-Lion. Now, |1 Llaqwaga (XXII 1) gave away seven 

 thousand woolen blankets | to the tribes. | 



When Llaqwaga (XXII 1) was old enough, she married | Hewak'E- 

 hs (XXII 2), chief of the numaym TsletslEmeleqala of the | Na- 



20 klwax'da^x", and Llaqwaga (XXII 1) had a son. Then || Hewak"Ehs 

 (XXII 2) gave a name to the child, and he named him | GwEyos- 

 dedzas (XXIII 1). The reason why P ladzEse ^maxwa (XXI 1) did 

 not I give a name to his grandson was because he was angry with his 

 princess | because she married Hewak'Ehs (XXII 2), for he was not 

 really a chief from his ancestors. | Therefore Hewak'Elis (XXII 2) 



25 himself gave a name to the || son of Llaqwaga (XXII 1). GwEyos- 

 dedzas (XXIII 1) is now three years | old. | 



Now, I really began at the very | end of our ancestors with the 

 whale, YaqalEulis (II 1), and came down to GwEyosdedzas | — the
