When David Dannells expedition returned in 1654, they brought 

 with them 4 Greenlanders from Baals Revier (Godthaab Fjord), a man 

 Ihiob, a луотап Kuneling and two children Kahelan and iSigoko. 

 They were sent to King Frederik III, who, because of the pest in 

 Denmark, was staying in Flensborg in Schleswig. The Greenlandic 

 words given were written down here by an army-surgeon Rein ho Id 

 Horrn from Pomerania, who had taken part in Dannells expedition

 himself later got an opportunity to observe them when they came to 

 live in his house.
