rich-woman dance with the name Q lominagESElat, | and the war- 62 

 dance with the name Topleq; and when the | Nak!wax'da^x" paid 

 the marriage debt, then tlie four men disappeared, | and he 

 showed the four dances. Now, || these were obtained by tlie numaym 65 

 Laalax's^Endayo, because he wanted very much | to retain the name 

 of his grandfather l lasaxdzeg' i4ak" (V 13), for that was the winter 

 dance name of | Ewanux"dze (V 13). H^mesElal (VII 3) never had a 

 child, I although he had many wives; and the only one who could | take 

 the place of his grandson was the grandson of |lLe4enox" (VII 1), the 70 

 child of K' .'amaxalas (VI 7), the princess of A^walask'inis (V 9), | 

 chief of the numaym Haayalik'awe of the Q.'omoj'a^ye. |Then 

 LMenox" (VII 1) had a daughter (VIII 1); and when | the daughter 

 of (i.e^lenox" and) WalEwid (VII 9) , chief of the numaym | Haana- 

 Leno, was grown up, her name was iJiileii^lak" (VIII 1), the daughter 

 of Le^lenox" (VII 1) || and of her husband WalEwid (VII 9). Then 75 

 Llaleli^lak" (VIII 1) married | ^maxiilag" ills' (VIII 2); and to him 

 went the name ^maxulag'ilis and also | the cannibal dance and the 

 name Yagwis and the fire-dance from the brother of | Llaleli^lak" 

 (VIII 1), who was Nux"nemis (VIII 3) in the winter dance, and 

 Omx'^id in the | secular season. Now Llaleli^lak" (VIII 1) had (four 

 sons) a son named ^uEmogwis (IX 1), and his || younger brother 80 

 OgwilagEme^ (IX 2), and his younger brother K !wak IwabalasEme^
