  Now 
  then, 
  thou 
  who 
  wert 
  the 
  lawgiver 
  

  

  Of 
  the 
  Ka-nongh-syon-ny, 
  De-kan-a-wi-dah; 
  

   With 
  the 
  joint 
  lawgiver, 
  his 
  son, 
  O-dats-he-deh; 
  

   And 
  then 
  again 
  his 
  uncle, 
  Wa-tha-do-dar-hoh 
  ; 
  

   And 
  then 
  again 
  his 
  son, 
  A-kah-en-yonh; 
  

   And 
  then 
  again 
  his 
  uncle, 
  Ka-nya-da-ri-yoh 
  ; 
  

   And 
  then 
  again 
  his 
  cousin, 
  Sha-de-ka-ron-yes.
