400 Then | the Kwag'ul went away; and when they arrived || at Qalogwis, 

 they went ashore, and the Kwagul | took ashore the many dressed 

 skhis. When all had been taken out of the canoe, | ^maxfdagilis 

 (IV 3) for that was now the name of Aodzagalas (IV 3) | called his 

 speakers to clear his house; and as soon | as they finished clearing 

 5 his house, he told his speakers to stand outside || of the house and to 

 invite all the Kwag'ul on behalf of | ^maxwa (V 1) ; for now ho was 

 no longer named Awilgalas (V 1). | The ancestors of the Kwagul 

 went at once into the house | of -maxiilagilis (IV 3) to the potlatch. 

 Then he told his | numaym the SenLlEm that the name of Awilgalas 



10 (V 1) was changed to ^maxwa (V 1) || and also that this property was 

 given away for his son ^maxwa (V 1), for now Aodzagalas (IV 3), 

 who had changed his name | to ^maxiilagilis (IV 3), said this when 

 he gave away the dressed skins, | the marriage mat of MEJed (V 8) to 

 all the Kwag'ul. And he gave | one slave to the head man of 

 each of the four numayms, — | to Chief L!aciwadze, chief of

 and I to Chief K^Iade, chief of the Kukwak!um; and also to | Chief 

 P!asElal, — to each of these he gave | one slave, and he sold the 

 copper SEwa. | The chief of the numaym Maamtagila, L!aqwa-
