 name was Llaqwag'ila; and his sister Hax" hak IwaedzEmga (III 5) | 

 changed her name, and her name was l !aqwag' ilayugwa ; and | the 

 name of the child of ^mEmx'&yugwa (III 2) was Msnl^idaas (IV 1), on 

 account of || the feast given by Llaqwag'ila (II 1) of the many hair^ 95 

 seals and | cinquefoil-roots. Now she had another son. | Now, the 

 father of Llaqwag'ila (III 4), KIwama^xElas (II 6), wished to give a 

 name | to the new child of ^msmx^yugwa (III 2). He gave a pot- 

 latch to the I ancestors of the Haxwamis, for the numaym of 

 KIwamaxElas (II 6) were the G'exsEm of the || HSxwamis. Then 400 

 KIwamaxElas (II 6) gave a potlafch to the G'Ig'ilgam | and Ha&ya- 

 lik'awe^, as there are three numayms | among the Haxwamis. Then 

 KIwamaxElas (II 6) gave the name K !wak Iwabalas (IV 2) | to his 

 grandson, for the child was to take the seat of [ K IwamaxElas (II 6) 

 after his death. Therefore he gave him a name. Now || ^mEmx'a- 5 

 yugwa (III 2) had two children by her husband l laqwag'ila (III 4) ; | 

 and when MEni^idaas (IV 1) was grown up, he took the head seat in 

 the I numaym G'exsEm, and his younger brother, K !wak Iwabalas 

 (IV 2) had the | third seat in the numaym of his elder brother, | the 

 G'exsEm. That is the seat of KIwamaxElas (II 6), his grandfather. 

 Now II KIwamaxElas (II 6) had the seat at the end of the numaym IQ 

 G'exsEm. | It was as though KIwamaxElas (II 6) had died already. |
