the many | people of the Mamalelcqahi; and many of the Kwa- 77 

 g"ul were hurt, | and also many of the Mamaleleqala were hurt, | 

 for mdeed they threw stones at one another because they gave a 

 name for the child that || Awilgalas (V 1) and his wife MEled 80 

 (V 8) might have. His name was to be EpElkiisas (Blood) | or 

 Yayllkiilas when it was born, until it was | ten months old (I just 

 want to talk about this) ; and | after the sham-fight, Awilgalas 

 paid the marriage money. | Now, the Kwag'ul did not wish to 

 go ashore, II for the princess of Chief j ^maxiiyalidze (IV 5), MEled 85 

 (V 8) was to come down out of the house of her father to | go 

 into the canoe of her husband Awilgalas (V 1). She came | out of 

 the house of her father with four slaves | and many dressed skins 

 as a marriage mat, and also the copper || SEwa, on which she was 90

 canoe of his son-in-law Awilgalas (V 1); and when | MEled (V 8) 

 went aboard the canoe of her husband, ^maxuyalidze (IV 5) went 

 up again. | He just told his son-in-law to wait, and | also all the 

 Kwag"ul. He went up the beach in fi-ont of the village || and spoke. 95 

 He said, "Now, listen, son-in-law Awilgalas (V 1). | I let go now 

 this name to you, son-in-law. Now your name shall be | ^maxwa 

 (V 1), and your father's name shall be ^maxiilag ilis (IV 3)." Thus 

 he said. \ And immediately he sent his son-in-law to start off
