/Ko'loowlsi came from the waters of the west, appearing to the A'shiwi for the first time when 

 they went to To'wa yalliine to escape the great flood which swept over the earth. The impression 

 of his head is still to be seen on the mountain side where he stopped to rest. Ko'loowlsi did not 

 return to the western waters, but went to Ko'thluwala'wa, becoming the seed-bearer of the gods to 

 the A'shiwi. 



ff>Si''sikia names the infants at involuntary initiation; hence the appellation "suckling." 



A The Ko'yemshi, who were in their mountain, heard as one hears from lightning, and the A' wan 

 ta''chu (great father Ko'yemshi) went at once to the lake by the inner road through the mountain. 



i 'Kiiiklo ascends the ladder to this world from the abiding place of the Council of the Gods and 

 sits on the bank of the lake. 



J The Ko'yemshi, hearing in their mountain home, come to the borders of the lake, and 'Kiiiklo 

 mounts the back of the pe'kwin (deputy to the great father Ko'yemshi).
