THE RABBIT AND IOTINIKE. Al 
NOTES. 
38, 5. édi aki-biama. It was some place where the Rabbit had been on some pre- 
vious occasion, or else it was on the way to the Rabbit’s home: “he reached there 
again,” or “he reached there on his way home.” 
38, 16. ma*tihea¢é atathe ¢a®cti. Hitherto, Ictinike placed his plot within his 
head and concealed it there. Ma*tihea¢é refers to the plot, not to the victim. 
39, 1. b¢ije atci teabe. ‘Bé¢ije” is from “ ¢ijé.” 
39, 4. gud-i¢a"¢a-qti aha®, a phrase occurring only in this myth. 
39, 10. je hi¢ai, a case of “hapaa legomenon.” 
39, 12. ugina*skabe ¢a? ama. The young Rabbit leaped upon the robe of his 
relation, Ictinike, soiling it with the “itig¢e” sticking to his feet. 
40, 9. jetidig¢a®™ péji g¢iza-bi ega®. He took his own breech-cloth which he had 
on to use in giving the signal of alarm. Hence he was not “naked” in the strict sense 
of the word before he took it off. 
40, 12. hegactewa*baji, pronounced he+gactewa*baji. 
40, 13. itc‘age waiit ¢a® ctéwa" gacai ta". The people said, “They chased the 
venerable man so closely that he had to drop his robe.” 
40, 18. waii® ckube-qti yeha ‘ii-biama. Though this means “a very thick summer 
robe,” geha (buffalo robes of animals killed in swmmer) were not covered with thick 
hair, as were the meha or winter robes. 
TRANSLATION. 
Ictinike was going, and so was the Rabbit. “Hu+! O younger brother! Uhu+!” 
said Ictinike. ‘When it was told, I hoped to see him, and so I see my own (rela- 
tion),” said he. “Though I am only moving for some time, who will love me?” said 
the Rabbit. “Come,” said Ictinike. ‘ Wherefore,” said the Rabbit. “Never mind, 
come,” said Ictinike. He reached there. ‘“O younger brother,” said he, “what- 
soever I say, you must say ‘Yes.’” “Yes,” said the Rabbit. ‘O younger brother, 
tecum coibo,” said Ictinike. “No,” said the Rabbit, ‘‘prier tecwm coibo.” ‘“Psha! O 
younger brother,” said Ictinike, “‘when the elder ones talk about anything, they 
generally have their way.” ° “‘Psha! Not so indeed, elder brother. The younger ones, 
elder brother, when they speak about anything, do not stop talking about that, so 
they usually have their way,” said the Rabbit. ‘Let us see, do so, younger brother.” 
And Ictinike turned upside-down. The Rabbit ewm eo cotit. Coitw completo, the 
Rabbit leaped and had gone. “Come, O younger brother,” said Ictinike repeatedly. 
When he was saying it to him the Rabbit was fleeing; and he went headlong into a 
dense thicket. “‘Wahu+!” said Ictinike, ““While I alone cheated a person, I used to 
keep (the plot) inside (my head). You very bad Rabbit! You very bad big-foot! 
You very bad big-eyeballs! You very bad much strong odor! You have made me 
suffer very much.” And the Rabbit departed. ‘Cum isto prior coit et fect ut caca- 
ret,” said the Rabbit. Ictinike reviled him again. Again he reviled him. Ictinike 
departed very sorrowful. When he reached a certain place cacaturitt et cacavit. 
Ictinike cacante, a young rabbit departed, running very rapidly, “It gets worse 
and worse!” Again, when he reached a certain place, cacaturtit et cacavit; and
