. . . "I come to call you, friend Yfi,xyaxesa^naga (Answering- 

 Woman), to come and dance! . . . " | 



Now there were really many all around the great dancing-house. | 

 There are eight whose names have not been given, for I do not 

 know their | names. There should be forty to be called out to 

 dance by | X'imsElilEla, as it was shown by the former chief of the 

 Awlk' !enox", || Ewftltlala. The great many of them all turned to- 

 ward the fire of the | great dancing-house; and they aU shouted 

 "Hoho !" at the same time, | their whole number. |
