married long | with his cousin Hitydésdésrlas, when she was with 
child, and | she gave birth to a | girl. 
She did not live long before she died. Then || Hitydsdésrlas gave 
birth to a boy. He lived for twenty days. | Then he died. Then 
she gave birth to another boy, | and he lived. His name was K éné, 
and he is now six | years old. |

not want their privileges to go | out of their family. They keep their 
privileges among themselves || by doing so." |

daughters of their half-sisters. One of these is Bwanoxvdzé of the Lailaxsendayy, who married the 
daughter of his father and of his stepmother. His wife’s name is Llatlagoliflaky. See also Addenda,
