90 who belongs to the Mamaléleqila, and the other one || in front of one 
who belongs to the Qwéq"sdt!énox"; and they say when they give 
them | to them, “Now, chief, draw in your breath!” Then the one 
to whom it is given stands up, | takes the spoon, and drinks the juice 
of the berries; | and when he has had enough, he pours what is left 
over into the house-dish, | while the daughter of the host is still 
dancing. || The two men continue doing this with the two | long- 
handled ladles; and when the boxes are empty, they stop. Then the 
guests go out | when this is finished. When those who have eaten 
the viburnum-berries go out, | then the members of the numaym 
take the house-dishes that have been given | to the head chiefs of the 
100 various tribes, || and they divide (the contents of each between) the 
chiefs of the tribes that have been eating together; and when | all 
the small dishes have been taken out, they keep quiet. That is all 
about this. |
