30 (VI 2) II sent his speakers to go into all the houses and invite on 

 behalf of | Wawalk-me (VII 3), the son of GwE^yimdze (VI 2). 

 "Thus you will say," said GwE^yimdze (VI 2) | to his speakers. 

 At once they went out of the house and | stood in the doorways 

 of all the houses, inviting all the | men of the Q'.omoya^ye, ^walas 



35 Kwag"ul, and Q!omk!ut!Es; || and this is what the speakers said 

 as they entered the j doors of the houses of the QlomoycVye: "I 

 invite you, Q!omoya^ye, on behalf of j Wawalk'ine (VII 3), the 

 child of GwE^yimdze (VI 2.)" And when they stopped speaking, | 

 the others said, "Let us go quickly. | "The fire is now burning 

 low." Thus said another one. And when they had been to all the|| 



40 houses of the Q!omoya^ye, they went to the houses of the ^walas 

 Kwag'ul, I and said, "Now I call j'ou, ^walas Kwag'ul, on behalf 

 of I Wawalk-ine (VII 3), the child of GwE^yimdze (VI 2)!" and 

 they I said as they had done before. Thus they went into all | 

 the houses of the ^walas Kwag"ul; and then they went into the 



45 houses of the Q!6mk"!ut!Es, || and they said again, "Now I 

 call you, Q!omk-!ut!Es, on behaK of | Wawalk-ine (VII 3), the 

 child of GwE^yimdze (VI 2)." Thus they | went into all the 

 houses, and then they went back into the future feast | house. 

 When the guests came, the Q'.omoya^ye sat down | in the rear of 



50 the house, and the ^walas Kwag"ul sat down || at the right-hand
