NOTES. — 1—2. Only В has these two lines. akia, the flaps on the lower 
edge of the anorak, on the front and back of this. Suffix -k'a ‘my’ + -Ка’ 
(< -kajé: WGr. kajit) ‘poor, miserable. {uk'artiwajora apparently < WGr. 
tux-arpa ‘hacks at it repeatedly with the end of a chopping instrument’, or 
from tuk-arpa ‘tramples on it’, + suffix WGr. -Z'uar ‘strongly’ + WGr. -ujo 
“also. — 2. itituåte is derived from item ‘platform’ (in a house) or from ite 
‘house’; possibly used here as a placename (signifying ‘the only platform, or 
house’ ?) — 3. kim:akik-a apparently answers to WGr. kim-alik-a ‘my chewed’ 
namely ‘the pieces of skin which I have chewe:d tender.’ In X the word is 
lengthened with a sort of refrain. — 6. ja'jaqaia A, ja'jaga jai Z; the refrain 
is found in all the renderings except У. — 7. У and Z about as X; na‘kaicu- 
luk-ak У. Sufia proposed to read: nalika’kuluk’a ‘my poor fork’ (8: ‘has both 
lice and itch’).— 8. kumite: kilite A. qulim:e™kumite: Z Че her scratch herself 
in the head’(?). B’s variation, if right, must signify: ‘let him scratch his lice.’ 
No. 12. Mist above, Sunshine below. 
Ittimaneejuk A. Mitsuarniayya В. 
The mist enshrouds the summit of the mountain like a fur cap, while 
the sun shines warmly at its foot. The conclusion of the poem seems to 
stamp it as a child’s song; perhaps, even, a petting song. 
It was recited to me in two mutually very divergent versions, both of 
which give one the impression of being very distorted. The original form of 
the poem may perhaps be approximately re-construed as I have essayed it 
here.
