NOTES. — 1. co:r in place of co'p (cf..no. 62). — 3. This might be trans- 
lated by Т am invulnerable, or immune. — 5. awome:rteq (cf. Kleinschmidt, 
avingaq) described by some as a little four-footed animal which can fly (the 
bat is sometimes seen at Ammassalik but not captured), by others as a bird 
which is seen only by the angakut. — 7 (8). Asiartik (or Asiarte:q?), which is 
also mentioned in no. 51 as a bringer of sickness, is an evil being from the 
other world: literally, as it seems, ‘the one which moves or wanders beyond 
(to the invisible world) and, it is probable to be understood, which comes 
from the beyond, in other words, the message-bearer between this world 
and the other. My informant signified him as foqun:arter, ‘fatal, poisonous.’ 
Kuannia explained the name by a monster, a demon, which roams around 
as a wolf. He likened this being to an /noruseq, an inland dweller, ete. Cf. 
nos. 51, 86, 88, 93.

ea, ea suna time wara, 1 What lives in my inside? 
suna Uime wara? What lives in my inside? 
ea, ea sermerliwa 2 The great ice (the inland ice). 
awan'iarte, awap'iarte 3 I would it might go in two![? 
ea, ea suna штечоага, 4 What lives in my inside? 
suna time wara? What lives in my inside? 
perte 5 I would it might go away! 
NOTES. — 1. May also mean: "What have I as fetus inside me?’ — 2. I 
imagine the meaning to be: a stiffening pain, as if my inside were hard as 
the ice. — 3. According to Kuannia's interpretation, aweriarte is meant here 
(aweqitino) < WGr. awip:ogq which means either: 1) separate in two parts, or, 
2) has shingles, a sort of eruption which appears as a ring round the waist. 
(Kleinschmidt, Ordbog p. 63). Here, therefore, the wish is that “the ice” may 
go in pieces. But our WGr. kiwfaq (maid-servant) understood the EGr. awan- 
iarte to be the same аз WGr. awin'aq a ‘fabulous animal’ (cf. in no. 49 awon- 
e-rteq), and her interpretation is really confirmed by another charm of Ale- 
qaajik, see по. 93, р. 276 (ашаптагсе:р). Cf. Labrador avinag ‘lemming.’
