'Ja — ia — a — a — aliagelerpik imarsiuarnek aja — ia — a . . . . 

 alianarsila kunugdlikangna sardlilagingnartek agidlatigsanik ipigdla- 

 tigsanek nerielerugta sardliligingnaripik tatakakinga uejarevakinga'" . 



"When we cannot sing, we weary us aja — ia — a . . . . Kunuk, 

 who always sings, I think is coming to have a drum match. 1 wonder 

 if he has got round the naze, he who is always singing". 



52. Uiartek's drum song (cf. pag. 244). 



"Ш — ja — ja — aa — a — a — a seueki ineseramanga seueki 



isimalierama seveki uâ — ja — ja .... 



'^'seuesikingmai pisarnuk sevekigekigako ingirijunga uâ — ja — ja ■ ■ • • 



'■'usornak anerselerejata inevet takisamingnik makke nunaning

"anersardlaka kigdlivigsivit kavane takisaka nigeuesakangitit na- 

 linginak kangulegsevartut ingmata anersatariaka uâ — ja — ja ... 

 uä—ja -ja . ..". 



"f/d — ja — ja — My time of life is not long. When 1 thought 

 on it, it was not long. I sing because my term of hunting will not 

 last long. I admire the men who tell of the land they have seen. 

 I tell of Kigdlivigsivit, which I have seen to the north, where one 

 could not step ashore where one wanted, because the rocks were so 

 steep as an icefoot uâ — ja — ja — . . . ."
