22 As soon as ^niEiux'o ^maxwa showed the LEWElaxa dance, which 

 was given to him in marriage by his father-in-law | K' !ade, then 

 ^msmx'o ^maxwa, that is Llaqwag'ila, put away | everything, his 

 name L.'aqwag'Oa, and his cannibal name Kun^watElag ihdzEm, ||

 sing the LEWElaxa song four | nights, one winter, and he did so for 



40 four II winters. Then he finished with it. Then | ^mEmx'6 ^maxwa 

 put it away, and now ^niEmx'o ^maxwa was called "La^wElqo," (that 

 is, a prince who has married the princess of a head chief) , for he had
