792 ETHNOLOGY OF THE KWAKIUTL [ETH. ANN. 35 
Now you will see that the names | of the chiefs of the numaym 
Séni!em are called out first by the speaker. When he gives notice, | 
all of them listen to his speeches. First | the head chief of he chiefs, 
‘nemodgwis, is called. Then he || names the one next to ‘nemdgwis, 
Hamesrlal. Then he names next to | Himesrlal, Manakila, for 
that is the order of the three chiefs of the | numaym Séni!em; for 
they come down to the younger brothers beginning with the | eldest 
brother, calling the name of the next one until he calls the youngest 
one. That is | when the numaym Sénu!em give a feast. And even 
when a || common man gives a feast, the three chiefs are always 
named. | The name of the host, who is a common man, is never 
called by the | speaker when he gives notice to his numaym that he 
wil speak, | when the guests of the host first come in, and when he 
presses down the food of the | guests after they have finished eating. || 
And when the speech to his numaym the Sénu!em is at an end, 
then he | turns to the guests, and he calls the head chief of each 
numaym by name. | First he names the head chief of the | Maimta- 
g ila, Awaxnlag’ilis; and next, | K’imk rnqEwéd, who is the head chief 
of the numaym G'éxsem. Then he names || Ts!ex‘éd, the head 
chief of the numaym LO‘yalalawa. Then he names | Hawilkilal, 
the head chief of the numaym Kiikwak!um. | Then he names
