60 real owner of the fish trap wishes || to spear with a spear the one 

 who steals his fish-trap plare, I then he spears him. Therefore, gen-

1 I will talk, for example, about LaleliL !a, the one next to the | head 

 chief of the numaym G'exsEm. LaleliL !a had for his wife | 

 Ts lalalili^Iak", the princess of Gwex'sesElasEme^. | LaleliL !a and 

 Ts lalaliliPak" had not been living as husband and wife for a long 

 5 time before || Ts lalalih^lak" was with child, and Ts lalalili^lak" had 

 for her lover Awaxalag'ilis. | When Ts lalalili^lak" had been with 

 child for five months, she left her | husband, LaleliL !a, for Gwex'- 

 sesElasEme^ had already paid the marriage debt to | LaleliL !a. There- 

 fore Ts lalaMi^lak" left her husband, | although she knew that she 

 10 was with child, and it was not long after Ts lalalili-lak" |1 had left her 

 husband LaleliL !a, when Awaxalag'ihs married Ts lalalili-lak". | Now 

 Ts lalaliii^lak" was with child when she went into the house of her 

 new I husband Awaxalag'ihs. Then Ts lalalih^lak" gave birth to | 

 a boy, and Awaxalag'ilis gave the name Wawalk'ine to the | child 

 borne by his wife. Il
