196 М’. THALBITZER. 
16. (Lacking in С) sulupa:q ‘a great feather.’ The termination -(i)juitse: is pro- 
bably the assimilative outcome of -rijuk + -ben (-Isen?) cf. WGr. -rujuk 
‘enormous, huge’ and -Ю:4 (-so:q) ‘having a great —’, through a mediate form 
such as -(pa:)rujuit-e-t? It is uncertain what ‘feather’ here means, probably 
the same as qilipa'q (2nd meaning), namely ‘urethra’ ог ‘tube’ (because a quill 
is a tube). Otherwise this word is also used of the excrement, especially 
with a thin discharge (tim-ileg anarpoq anikät'ame A ‘one who has stomach- 
ache, excretes violently’; suluga wut В ‘we get strong purgation’). — 17. A first 
pronounced the word like qilerte''sa’k, and В said gernerte‘suaq or -te'so:q. 
The transmission seems quite uncertain. The first may have something to do 
with ‘bound together like a bunch or bundle (for example, a hair-tuft)’, the 
second with ‘black’ colour (for instance, black as a raven). In connection with 
1. 16, Kuannia took it as ‘the child’s anus is black.’ 
No. 9. Mother’s Joy over Child’s Sex. 
Ittimaneejuk (А). Qiwinaraaq (BX). 
Even if this is not a real nursery-rhyme addressed to a baby, it has 
undoubtedly grown from such an original one. The ending reminds one of 
the latter part of the foregoing poem, expressing the mother’s joy over the 
little child’s sexual parts. Compare also with no. 1, where a mother extols 
the little innocent coquette whom no man has yet touched. A and B vary in 
the last line, perhaps each giving their name to a child.
