No. 100. Against Mist. 
_ (Rosing по. 4.) 
Rosing understood this prayer to concern the weather, a formula for 
relief from mist. But it is not entirely beyond question that “mist” may mean 
the body-vapour of a person who has touched a corpse, as in nos. 70, 74, 76. 
1 I have not mist, 
2 I have not mist, 
3 May the great mist sink outwards ! 
4 I have not mist, 
Only one of the dwellers of the river has mist. 
Or 
NOTES. — 5. ko'm'e'n, either used about people, ‘the river people’ (per- 
haps as a place-name), or of the spirits of the river. 
No. 101. For Raising the Dead. 
(Rosing no. 5.) 
They chant a magic formula over the dying sick in order to give them 
life, and over children who are still-born. This reviver is as follows: 
1 What is it I rouse to life, 5 What is it I rouse to life, 
2 What is it I rouse to life? 6 What is it I rouse to life? 
3) А Scrub II FOUSe tom lites 7 A moth I rouse to life 
4 A grub I rouse to life. 8 AL moth I mouse to life. 
NOTES. — 3-4. ana'nan'aq is explained by Rosing as ‘a little worm (larva)', 
and by Johan Petersen as ‘a yellowish-brown fly, dungfly. The latter is pro- 
bably correct (cf. no. 874). — 7-8. tim'iarajik is rendered by Rosing as a winged 
insect (butterfly), and by Johan Petersen as a moth. 
No. 102. The Angakok Pupil’s Magic Formula. 
(Rosing no. 6.) 
Here the talk is about the angakok pupil, a young man who, in a lonely 
mountain retreat, with a small stone in his hand rubs for several hours with 
a rotary grinding motion the surface of a boulder, thus introducing one of 
his assistant spirits (see fig. 50). 
The angakok pupil who ‘rubs’ the stone is provided with a magic for- 
mula for his purpose. 
1 Where do I Talo’? 6 Who comes to me? 
2 Where do I Tub”? 7 The spirit of the sea comes to me. 
3 On Qaatalik I ‘rub’, 8 The spirit of the sea comes to me, 
4 On Qaatalik I ‘rub’, 9 Irresistible, 
5 Who is it that comes to ше? 10 Irresistible.
