I forgot part of what Ts!a.g'i^lak" said to his father | when he said 20 

 at the end, "My tribe, and that of my children are the Laxsa. | 

 Now my grandson, whose name is ^maxQyaMsEme^, | stands at the 

 head of the L^xsa." Thus he said. | 



As soon as the former ^maxiiyalisEme^ found that his father the 

 chief II was dead, because he had died of shame, he arose and | spoke. 25 

 He said, "O tribe! Let my | past father-in-law and the whole 

 number of them and my child stay away for a while. | Now my 

 former name, ^maxiiyalisEme^, shall be his true name, for the | head

 HaxuyosEineS || the former name of my father." Thus he said. ,30

 Ma^nakula, and ALe^stalidzEmga, and her child | ^maxfiyalisEme^ 

 got ready and went aboard their traveUng-canoe. They | went 

 home to G'Ey5x". Tslag'i^ak" was happy because he had fooled || 

 his eldest brother, and because he had obtained the true name | 35
