XII. CRITICAL REMARKS 



1469 



In answer to specific incjuiries, Mr. Hunt has given the following 

 forms as correct: 



1. Wa, la^Iae yaqlEg'a^la qlulyakwe 



bEgwanEma. 

 Wa, la^lae yaqlEga^Jeda q!ulyakwe 



begwanEma, 

 Then, it is said, spoke the old (absent, 

 in\dsible) man. The second form 

 points out the subject more emphatic- 

 ally. 



2. Lasm ^nEx^untses LlEntsEme 



^nEx^ilna'ya. 

 LaEm ^nEx^iindEses LlEntsEme 

 ^nEx^iina^ya. 

 Now he put on his bearskin blanket. The 

 second form is more emphatic in regard 

 to time sequence(?). 



3. Wii, gil^Em^lawise qlulbaxa tsaxala 



laa^lase dEnx^edEsa qlEmdeme. 

 Wii, gil^Em^lawise qlulbeda tsaxalaxs 

 laa^lase dEnx^etsa qlsmdEme. 



As soon, it is said, as the time beating was 

 at an end they sang the song. In the 

 former sentence tsaxala is object, in 

 the latter subject. In the former the 

 subordinate clause is not introduced. 

 In the latter it is introduced by -xs and 

 the time sequence is emphasized. 



4. La dEnx^ededa bEgwanEm 

 The (near, visible) man sang. 



La dEnx^edxa bEgwanEma. 

 The (absent, invisible) man sang. In 



this and the following the subject must 



be conceived as apposition. 

 La dEnx^ed yixa bEgwanEme^. 

 The (pointed out) man sang. 



5. Wii, laEm^lae hewiixa xjsledaxa 



gokwe. 

 Wa, laEm^lae hewiixa x^is^ededa 

 gokwe. 

 Then the house never disappeared. 



The original manuscripts of the data published here and in Vol- 

 umes III, V, and X of the Publication of the Jesup North Pacific Expe- 

 dition and m the Kwakiutl Tales, Columbia University Contributions 

 to Anthropology, have been deposited in the Library of Columbia 

 University. 



On account of the variation in phonetic wTiting and in grammatical 

 form which occur from time to time, it seems necessary to give a 

 chronological table of the order in which the manuscripts were 

 received. 



The following abbreviations have been used: C for Columbia 



University Contributions to Antltropology, Volume II, Kwakiutl 



Tales; HI, V, X, for Volumes III, V, X, of the Publications of the 



Jesup North Pacific Expedition. All other references refer to page 



and line of the present volume: 620.1, for instance, means page 620, 



line 1.
