and spoke. He said, "Wliat do you say, | father-m-law (V 13) ? 36 

 Do you come again and give me a marriage gift of sixty | blankets 

 and also this name? Thank you, father-in-law (V 13) !" | Thus he 

 said, and sent out his wife (VI 9) to call his numaym, the | SenL!Em,to 

 come into his house. Indeed, there were only three || seated in the 40
