fiiends, Naklwax'da^x", be ready to pacify II our great friend Yagwis SO 

 (V 1)." When he stopped speaking, | Yagwis (V 1) uttered the 

 cannibal cry at the door, and then | the Naklwax'da^x" sang four 

 songs; ana when they had pacified | Yagwis (V 1), Qasnomalas 

 (III 14) let him sit down at the seat of | ^maxulag'ihs (IV 9). When

 and said, "'Wliat shall we say against this, what I carry here, my 

 tribe | Naklwax'da^x"? for tliis is what the late ^maxwa (II 1) 

 obtained in marriage || from the Awik' lenox". Now, this shall go to 90

 Then he went out of the house and | went aboard the canoe of his 

 father ^maxulag'ihs (IV 9). Now | l !aL lElEwedzEmga (IV 3), and
