There were | three songs with slow time beating, besides the one witli 

 fast time beating. I] There were four songs in all for the hamshamts !es 40 

 Hamsbe^. | (I forgot that as soon as the hamshamts !es came in, he |

 name Hamsbe^, || and also this great winter-dance house which has 50

 the post on the left-hand side was | G'ag'eqemil. "Now your name
