(They talk much about what is done by those who disappear to 
become shamans; | for they use different dances when they show 
themselves, although | none belong to their ancestors, for they are 
according to the order of spirits.) | 
As soon as Q!walanénega had uttered the cannibal-cry she sang 
her sacred song, | and immediately the great shaman, Fool, awak- 
ened || all the men and asked them to go into the dance-house; | 
and when they were all inside they took their | batons, and also the

Q!walanénega uttered the cannibal-cry at the door of the dance-

for | none knew that Q!walanénega was a himdzEdzewe*. She ! 
just sang her sacred song; and as soon as she had finished singing her 
sacred song, she | uttered the cannibal-ery. Then she bit four men. || 
Then the song-leaders of the Nak!wax'da‘x" said that they would 
sing a new | song for her, and this is her song: |
