‘“* Father, I Paheke up and down where the sunrise is seen all 
fiery.” It is a Sunrise Chinoi who is supposed to be speaking.

“I shake it up and down, grandmother mine, I, your servant, 
shake it up and down. Throw it upwards!’’ I am not sure 
that this translation is correct. Mémpélam told me that it 
was a male Chinoi, named Menlus, who was speaking. He 
plays the Jew’s-harp to Yak Kalcheng. In the present 
instance, I understood, he is supposed to be hanging from the 
end of Yak Kalcheng’s fan, fanning her by springing up and 
down.

‘Grandmother mine, I shake up and down and spin as I 
hang.’’ The same Chinoi is supposed to be speaking.

‘‘T, Basket, go, plunge down and stick to the stone at the 
breast (2) of sunrise, at the house of Tanggoi’s girl.’’ It is 
the Chinoi Puyau, the Basket Chinoi, who is supposed to 
be speaking. Ehyim is the name of the child of Tanggoi to 
whom reference is made. She lives near where the sun rises, 
and plaits herself a nest.
