This song is exceedingly regular throughout. Cf. Songs 32, 57 and 72" 

 The refrain forms an almost inseparable part of the phrase and has therefore 

 been indicated by brackets above the letters that represent the measures. 

 With the exception of the first phrase of the prelude the measure succession is 

 absolutely regular. The break in the middle of the song spoiled its perfection, 

 but these outbursts of enthusiasm seem essential to Eskimo enjoyment, although 

 from their irregular appearance they are evidently not intended to be an integral 

 part of the song. 



The song begins on the fifth degree, first beat, and ends on the same tone, 

 which is the general level.
