great | house, and sat down in the rear. Then | Llaqwag'ila just sat 26 

 down, and he heard his father ^maxiiyalidze | speaking outside of the 

 great house, for he was surprised, ' for the Lirge house had come and 

 was sitting on the ground. || 



Now (^maxuj-alidze) had forgotten about his prince Llaqwag'ila, 80 

 that he had felt uneasy about him. | Then l laqwag'ila arose and went 

 to the door of the house; | and he called his father, and told him 

 that the great winter-dance | house was his supernatural treasure 

 and also the great dance hamsh&rats !es, which has the name 

 Hamsbe^, \ and also the name for ^maxuyalidze during the winter 

 dance, || TslElk" lExsde. "Now you will have it for j^our Sparrow 35 

 name." Thus he said to his father. | "And your chief name will be 

 AwaxElag'ilis." Thus he said. "And | the name of the house is 

 ^nEmsgEmsElai.Elas. Now you know why | I walked away." Thus 

 said L'.aqwagila to his father ^maxuyalidze. | Llaqwag'ila did not 

 show at once his hamshamtslEs || and his name Hamsbe^, but he 40 

 gave at once the name AwaxElag'ilis ( to his father, ^maxuyalidze. 

 From this came the great | house of the numaymMaamtag'ila that 

 has the name ^uEmsgEmsElaLElas. I 



Then ^maxuyalidze had another son, and he named him | Lo^yalal. 

 Therefore the numaj-m Lo^yalala^va || are next to the numaym 45 

 Mafimtag'ila, who are descended from the elder brother. Then 

 ^maxiu^alidze had a ' daughter, and he named her Agwilayugwa. |
