shall hide (under your clothing) knives and | stab MEled as soon as 31 

 you see him, that we may wash off with blood | the disgrace which 

 he brought on us; and if you do not see him, | then kill his elder 

 brother Lalep !a^las." Thus he said. | After he had finished his 

 speech, they went out of the house of || YiiqoLElasEm, and from that 35 

 time on, the G'exsEm all kept their | knives ready and hid small 

 axes. MEled | always kept the door of his house bolted. | 



Now they knew that YaqoLElasEm had been killed, and | all the 

 tribes knew that he liad been killed by MEled. || Then the chiefs of 40 

 the tribes all pitied Gwek'i^lak", | and therefore the warriors of the 

 tribes watched for j MEled to kill him, when they should see him. | 



However, he was seen at Dzawade, and immediately Gwa^wina \ 

 shot him. Then Meled was dead. Gwa^wina was a warrior || of 45 

 the Qlamcj lamtfila}, a numaym of the DEnax'da^x". I Then Gwek'i- 

 ^lak" paid Gwa^wina a slave for | shooting MEled. | 



It was wrong what was done by Gwek'i^lak", when she paid | a 

 slave to Gwa^wina, when he had shot MEled; and it is a || disgrace to 50 

 the numaym G'exsEm, for the one who shot Msled did not belong 

 to the numaym | G'exsEm. The numaym G'exsEm was beaten by
