30 (IV 3), danced. When the song of the || numaym was at an end, 

 Ha^niid said that Qwax'ilal (IV 3) had changed her name, for now | 

 her name was Ts!EndEgEmg'i^kk" (IV 3); and Q!umx'5d (IV 4) | 

 also had changed his name, and his name was now MEidesid (IV 4). 

 Thus he said, and | he stopped speaking. Then all the guests 

 went out. 



Now I I shall talk about the sister of Qlumxod (IV4), TslEudE- 



35 gEmg'i^ak" (IV 3). ll Now, the princes of the chiefs of the | various 

 tribes wanted to marry her, for they had seen the eight house- 

 dishes. I The cliief of the numaym Q'.omkMutlEs of the | Gwa^sEla, 

 L!as5tiwahs (III 11), asked her in marriage for his prince Sesaxalas 



40 (IV 8) ; I and the Gwa^sEla came to woo her at Baas, for || all the 

 Nak !wax' da^x" had gone there with their houses, and did not go 

 back to Teguxste. | It was evening when they arrived outside of 

 Baas. I Then L'.asotlwalis (III 11) spoke to his tribe, and said, | 

 "Listen to me, tribes ! I do not wish to | pay the marriage money in 



45 the evening. Let us sleep here, and go in the morning || to pay the 

 marriage money, when the Nak !wax' da^x" wake up !" | Thus he said. 

 Immediately the speaker PEugwid arose, i and also spoke. He said, 

 "What you say is good, | chief, for you are going to make really war 

 against TslEndEgEmg'i^lak" (IV 3), the | princess of Qliimx'od
