K' lodagala. Then he | named his child L!aq\vag"ila; and i, !riqwag"ila 51 

 grew up quickly. | As soon as he was strong enough, he ' askod his 

 father ^maxiiyalidze to make a bow for him and | four arrows. 

 Immediately ^maxflyalidze || made a bow of yew wood as a bow for 65 

 his son L'.aqwag'ila. | Wlien the bow and the four arrows were 

 finished, ! ^maxuyalidze gave tliem to his son i. laqwag'ila. Then | 

 r. laqwag'ila took the bow and the four arrows and | put them down 

 at the head part of his bed, in the evening. Then || he lay down and GO 

 slept. Now ^maxiiyalidze never j questioned his son why he lay 

 down early | in his bed. ^maxuyalidze arose earlj- in the morning, | 

 and went straight to the bed of his son l !aqwag'ila | to look at him. 

 Now he was not lying down with his bow, || and ^maxilj-alidze did 65 

 not know which way his son Llacjwag'ila had gone. | Then he told 

 his wife Aomol, and | Aomoi forbade her husband to talk about it. 

 Thus she said to him. | Wlicn evening came, ^maxi'n'alidze felt 

 uneasy on account of his | son. In the night, when it was dark, || 

 ^maxuyalidze sat down in vain outside of his house, \ waiting in 70 

 vain for liis son to come home. He never came. | Then he just went 

 into his house. \ 



Now I shaU stop talking about ^maxuyalidze and his wife | Aomoi
