71 killer-whale dish before the | Lail^lax's^Endayo. As soon as they 

 had finished, one of the | speakers spoke, and said, "This is the 

 weight of the name of ] Hamalaqab:niega (V 4), whose name is now 

 Mamx'ayugwa (V 4) obtained in marriage from | Odze^stalis (III 5) ;'' 



75 and when he stopped speaking, another speaker spoke, || and said 

 "Now let us give away the di'ossed skins!'' | and then he gave 

 them away. When they had all been given out, then | another 

 speaker spoke, and said, " This is the weight of the name of | 

 Smoke-All-Kound (V 1). He has changed his name, and now his 

 name is Awilgalas (V 1), | for that was received in marriage from 



80 Odze^stahs (III 5) by my chief || Aodzagalas (IV 3), for Yiiqoklwa- 

 lagilis (IV 3) has changed his name now, | and this is also obtained 

 in marriage from Odze^stalis (III 5) by my chief here." Thus he 

 said. I As soon as he stopped speaking, the guests went out; and 

 when I winter fame, the Lawets'.es came paddling with their | chief 

 Odze^stalis (III 5). He came to pay the marriage debt to his son- 



85 in-law Aodzagalas (IV 3) . || After they had taken ashore di-essed 

 skins and many cedar-bark blankets, | and many baskets of clover-roots 

 and boxes of | oil and boxes of dried clams and boxes of | dried 

 salmon, — when all these had been taken ashore out of the | ten 



90 canoes, he also gave the copper named || Leta to his son-m-law, 

 and also the ten canoes in which were seated the princess of 

 Odze^stalis (III 5). | That was the first great return of marriage
