 weight of his father's name, | ^maxuiagihs (IV 3), for he was no 

 longer named Aodzagalas (IV 3). | He gave away forty dressed 

 skins to the chiefs of the Q!omoya^ye | and the ^walas Kwag'ul, 

 and also to the Q!omk'!ut!Es, || and he gave away a hundred 25 

 and twenty blankets to the common people; | and immediately 

 all those who had been called to the potlatch went out when 

 they had received their presents. | Now ^maxwa (V 1) and his 

 wife Msled (V 8) were a happy couple; | and they had not 

 been married a long time when she was with child; | and she gave

 child. I Now the name of the child was ^max"mEvvis (VI 1); and 

 now he gave away forty | dressed skins and many cedar-bark 

 blankets to the ancestors of the || Kwag'ul. Then she had again 35

 riage presents to his son-in-law ^rnaxwa (V 1), and | also a name

 he had said. | He sent out his speaker to stand outside | of the house
