that is where O^maxtlalaLe^ and his | younger brother ^walas 23 

 ^HEmogwis and his father, ^walas Kwax'ilanokume^, Uved. | 



And before ^maxu^'ahdze invited them, the younger brother of || 

 O^maxt lalaLe^ ^walas ^nemogwis dressed himself with his abalone 25 

 ear ornaments | and his abalone nose ornaments. Then 0^maxt!a- 

 laLe^ said, | "This (my) younger brother looks very much like a 

 chief. Now his name is G'exsEm | (chief's face) and that of the 

 generations following him." Thus he said. That is the beginning of 

 the I numaym G'exsEm, for the numaym of O^maxt lalaLe^ were the 

 G'lg'ilgam, || and therefore it is said that the numaym G'Ig'ilgam | 30 

 was nursed on the right breast of their mother, and that the | numaym 

 G'exsEm was nursed on the left breast of their mother. | Therefore 

 they say that the numaym G'exsEm are descendants from the 

 younger brother, | and that the numaym G'Ig'ilgam are descendants 

 from the elder brother. I onl}^ wish i| to talk about this. Their 35 

 village was at K' !aq !a. 



Now I will talk about ^maxuyalidze. He came | up to XiidzE- 

 dzalis, the village of Yix'agame^. | Then he invited him to come to 

 Qalogwis. Next ^maxuyalidze came | to Tayagol and he invited 

 Lalax's^Endayo and he went to || l !aL lEqwaxLa and he invited 40 

 DzEnx"q!ay6 and he went to LE^lade | and invited Hayahk'awe^, and 

 ^maxiiyalidze did not go beyond | LE^lade, but came back. |
