away in marriage, liad the name | Q!umx"Elag'ilis. Tliat is all 2G 

 about this. | 



Now ' I shall talk about the children of Q !umx' od (III 1 ) , K' esoyak" e- 

 Us, I and Hamdzid, and the two nephews of Qlumx'od; | for Agwila 

 (III 12) was the younger brother of Q lunix'od. The name of the elder 

 one llof the children of Agwila was HiiqElax (IV 10 ) , and the name of the 30 

 younger one was | Q lex'Laia (IV 11) ; and the marriage of Agwila and 

 his wife was a disgrace, | for Agwila never performed the marriage 

 ceremony with his wife Alak'ilayugwa (III 13). | Some men say that 

 Alak' ilajTigwa was an Awlk' !enox" woman, | and others say that she 

 was a Gwa^sEla woman, and they are ashamed || to talk about them. 35 

 This is what the Indians call an irregularly married woman, | when she 

 just takes her husband without being formally married. | It is like the 

 female dog and the male dog sticking together. | These children of the 

 chief are not counted, because | their parents acted this way; and the 

 numaym of Agwila was the || numaym of his elder brother Q lumx'od. 40 

 Agwila was never treated well | by his people, because he had for 

 his wife Alak'ilayugwa, and | they were not formally married; 

 therefore his children were not well treated, for | they were a dis- 

 grace to his elder brother Q lumx'od. Then Q!umx'5d pitied his | 

 two nephews; therefore he took them as his dancers. That || is all 45 

 about this. |
