*mEmx'5 ^maxwa gave up | expecting to have a child with his wife 86 

 O^mag'His. | — | 



As soon as ^mEmx'o ^maxwa died, his younger brother took all | 

 his privileges, and his house, and what was in it; the carved || posts 90 

 of the house, and all the house dishes, and the carved settee | of the 

 first Llaqwag'ila (which has a copper carving in the middle of the | 

 seat and a carved eagle at each end | of the back support of the seat; 

 that is the family history seat of | l laqwag'ila, the prince of ^maxti- 

 yalidze), and the ll crest box which is carved all over. All this is in 95 

 the house. These | were aU taken by the younger brother, for that 

 was the last word of his elder brother, | ^niEmx'o ^maxwa, when he 

 died, and his numaym could not | disobey the wish of what the dead 

 chief said | to his younger brother. || 



Sometimes the younger brother marries the widow of his elder 200 

 brother, | if the father-in-law has not paid the marriage debt to the 

 elder brother of the younger brother | before (the elder brother) 

 dies. The younger brother marries the widow of the | elder brother 

 only when she is a sensible woman. If the widow of the elder 

 brother is a foolish | woman, the younger brother is not allowed by 

 his II numaym to marry the woman. | 5 



The younger brother just puts away aU the privileges until | he 

 gets married to somebody else. |
