A i s h i s h , Aisis, nom. pr. of Aishish, in whom some natural powers were 

 deified in masculine shape by the Mdklaks. He is reputed to be the son

 94, 8. 9., 95, 20 He has five wives, whose names are given 99, 9. 10. : 

 Tiihush, St6kua, Kli'tish, Wa'ks, Tsi'ka ; four of these are the names of 

 birds, and three among them of water-fowls. He associates with men 

 (niaklaks), gambles with them, 99, 2-8; and rivalizes with them success- 

 fully when shooting at the mark, as reported in his "shashapkgldash" or
