No. 108. Song of Sukkaartik, the Assistant Spirit. 
Ajukutooq. 
Sukkaartik was a Timerseeq (inland dweller) who was one of Ak"ko’s 
assistant spirits. The Timerseeq has been out on one of his roaming trips 
on the coasts, and longingly mentions all the sea animals which he has not 
captured during his trip.

Let us sing of it ever and long, 
When, for a moment, I got out to the sea-side 
And, at the edge of the land, in direction out 
over the sea 
That I, fancy, should again really catch 
sight of it! 
. Although, in spite of that, 
From out there I shouldn’t get anything, 
Should make no find of spoil, 
Should bear home no spoil on my back, 
Not even a common seal as before 
And a bone-seal. 
Although without prospect of spoil, 
Without prospect of getting anvthing from 
out there, 
I was not to make any find of spoil, 
I was not to bear home any spoil on my back, 
Not even a common seal as before 
And a crested seal. 
Although without prospect of spoil, 
Without prospect of getting anything from 
out there 
I was not to make any find of spoil, 
I was not to bear home any spoil on my back, 
Not even a common seal as before 
And a white whale. 
Although without prospect of spoil, 
Without prospect of getting anything from 
out there 
I was not to make any find of spoil. 
I was not to bear home any spoil on my back, 
Not even a walrus as before. 
I sang of these things, 
Because they are so nice to think about.
