[su^'sa and e*'Dzah*'.i are the same names as given to the disease 

 spirits of No. 45, but as already stated no light can now be thrown 

 on the meaning of the word, nor on the identity of the spirits meant. 



The same refers to the expression n9-'r)Wo*'na S9*'nda'Gt!i'. The 

 latter part of this might possibly be connected with an expression 

 which is rather common in the formulas, s9'''niGa'lo'Gt'!i, "where 

 Broken-Eock Mountain is. " 



This formula furnishes a good illustration of the difference between 

 the colloquial language of the people and the archaic language of the 

 formulas, this difference being so great that [the vocabulary of] the 

 medicine man is almost unintelligible to the laity. 



The "Little Man" addressed in the last part of the formula and 

 who "has been let down on the sunny side of the mountain slope" 

 is none other than the ginseng plant. (See p. 17L)
