Language and Folklore. 315 
The exclamation ox’oa? ox:oa"?! (ux’ua) which breaks the long 
refrains and is shouted by the leader — solo — must be connected with 
the verb ux-uarpog ‘feels disappointed or vexed’; (especially) ‘is dis- 
pleased with oneself because he missed something he might have got 
if he had not behaved foolishly or clumsily.’ 
The meqa and imaga of the refrain are probably to be under- 
stood as cries of encouragement, and e'Re‘je‘ perhaps = e’ge‘(je) ‘nay’ 
(with refrain-suffix). 
NOTE. — 1 Kuannia thought that he knew this word from the east coast; 
nipa‘rita:‘naq, said he, it is only an exclamation, used by one of the singers.

Notes. — 1. Cf. WGr. pe:ta‘p‘og ‘is lustful’ with the suffix -yu, EGr. -pi 
(< -9ир-04, ог < -n'erpoq? in both cases giving about the same meaning) 
“he is eagerly desirous of sexual pleasure, lascivious, unbridled. — 2. ke-tiar 
probably = ke'tiarma (1. 4) or rather ke:tsa:rma ‘I alone’, see Grammar § 68 
(р. 146). pe-tipin’iarpoa may perhaps mean ‘my craving for the other sex 
grows steadily.
