 and they called the GwetEla, ^walas Kwag-ui, and Q!onik'!ut!Es on 

 behalf of | ^nEmnasaiayugwa (YII 2), the daughter of YaqoLElas 

 (VI 2). Then they went back mto the | house of YaqoLElas (VI 2), 

 and cleared it out; and after they had cleared it out, | they invited 



50 the numaym of the Yaex'agEme to the house of || YaqoLElas (VI 2) 

 [to go into the house of YiiqoLElas] for that had been the house of | 

 YaqoLElasEme^ (V 10). Then YaqoLElas (VI 2) walked among his 

 new numaym | towards his house; and when they | were inside, the 

 GwetEla came in and sat on the right-hand side | of the house.

 hand side of the house. Then came the | Q!6mk'!ut!Es and sat

 (V 10) spoke to his son-m-law | YaqoLElas (VI 2), and gave away 

 the thirty-five blankets; | and after he had done so, they all went 



60 out. II Immediately A^walask'inis (V 9) took away his princess 

 KMamaxalas (VI 7), the j wife of YaqoLElas (VI 2) because he could 

 not do what had been done by | YaqoLElasEme^ (V 10) for his son- 

 in-law. (I forgot that the | slaves went with their mistress Alak'i- 

 layugwa [VI 8]). | Now YaqoLElas (VI 2) had only one wife, the 



65 princess of YiiqoLElasEme^ (V 10), || Alakulayugwa (VI 8). Now 

 YaqoLElas (VI 2) became proud and | always beat his wife, and
