four houses [4]: proceeding toward the left, until 
theycome “ssa *4 to the last | house they go along 
the rear of the four houses and || come out of the right-hand side 
of the house in which the children were born and they all go in. | 
When they are inside, the father of the young twins, | and _ his 
wife, and Salmon-Head, and also the man who had _ twin-chil- 
dren, | and (the woman acting as) his wife, who are carrying the 
cradles with the notched head-boards | in which the twin-children 
are, stand up, and || stand ina row. Then the father-in-law of the | 
father of the young twin-children stands up and gives a copper 
plate as a marriage gift to his | son-in-law to give away to his tribe. 
He gives him no names | for the twin-children, for the right to give 
names | to twins belongs to a grown up male twin; || often a grown 
up twin-woman names them. | 
Now, the tribe invited by the father of the young twins come | and 
see the two twin-children, and they just | mention the name of the 
copper until the property of the father-in-law of the | father of the 
young twins is ready for the potlatch. This is called “buying the 
copper’’ when || it is done in this way. |
