NOTES. — 1. -ne instead 
of -me. nukapiag ‘an un- 
maried man’, but Kuan- 
nia took it in a restricted 
sense = nukarpiag ‘real 
or true younger brother.’ 
According to his concep- 
tion this song concerns 
two brothers who wrestl- 
ed with each other (in 
anger or in play). On ac- 
count of the ambiguity of 
the words it is uncertain, 
however, whether there is 
talk of the younger broth- 
er or of another unmari- 
ed man who comes to the 
house and raises unrest 
amongst the young girls in И. — 3. = WGr. anisa or perhaps aniz:anuk ‘let 
both of us go out’ (Sufia). Kuannia connected it with ane ‘the sister’s elder 
brother.’ — 4. Cf. WGr. pikip‘oq. Sufia took these lines to mean that the 
young girls are in a hurry to arrange their hair and clothes. —5. Here it is 
doubtful whether the word is connected with suayawogq ‘abuses, vilifies an- 
other’, ог suana:wog (cf. Fabricius, Ordbog 1804) ‘is called out of the house’, 
or suap:arpog ‘becomes big; swells up.’ According to A, the latter was the 
meaning (perhaps said of the man’s forehead ?). — 6. My translation is based 
on B’s text. Both recitors took it for granted that the talk was about the 
man’s forehead (даша). Kuannia explained that it shines because the sweat 
comes out from anxiety or anger. — 7. If what I have recorded is correct, 
the translation must be as above. If up:a-laina was meant to be one word, 
as Kuannia assumed, it is from up'ata:t ‘his (or her?) thigh. — 8 and 10. The 
words in these two lines might just as well indicate that the talk is of catch- 
ing hold of a woman as of a man. According to Fabricius’s Ordbog, pa'n- 
iarput signifies ‘man and woman tear and pull each other about from lust- 
fulness, caress each other greatly’, and pit-artino can just as well mean the 
Fig. 37. Three young men waiting before the entrance 
of the house. (W. T. phot. March 1906.)
