ornik:aliwa:kin 10 When I was on my way in to them, 
ip ik aliwa'ma 11 When I would have made an attack on 
him — 
kita mand ca:ka 12 Then, on the contrary, he turned against 
them here! 
nina'na рае-пе 13 When her brother-in-law touched her: 
atana ornina‘niartine 14 Oh, him! (she thought) as he came so 
nicely towards her, 
ninale-’nican im at 15 Because there shall be no jealousy (anger) 
between them |]. 
ata‘na ip'ip'e-quartime 16 Oh, him! (she thought) the one he (my 
husband) was just on his way to attack, 
patile’nisan ит ай 17 Because there shall be по meeting (or 
beating) between them |?) 
NOTES. — 6. -n‘uar perhaps an unusual form of -(Huar ‘constantly.’ — 
8. -te'la = WGr. -L'e-ila? — 12. kit'a must answer to WGr. kiz'oq ‘the reverse, 
the converse (of what one might expect)’, and mand may be abbreviated from 
mane ог тап`а ‘this one. са`Ка = ca'k'a'? < за‘р’оп. Both this line and the 
following are very puzzling for the interpretation. — 13. pat'e‘wne < pat'ip:a', 
WGr. paL'ip'a ; or < palip'a ‘beats or trounces him’ (“when he trounced 
her”. — 14. (Cf. 16) ata na < a+ tawna. — 16. -Ите, a mistake for -tine? 
(cf. 14). — 15 and 17. -lewni-? < -ler(poq) ‘begins’ + -neq (abstractive). The 
verbal stem word must be nipa‘wp'ut ‘they are angry with each other, they 
scold or fight’ (or < niy’awp‘ut ‘they are jealous of each other’). pati-, see 
note 13. Xay'im'ät ‘because there will not be any’ or ‘there is no habit of 
being any—, there is usually no—.’ Another way of interpretation would be 
to divide these words thus: nigale‘wni cam'im'at “because he did not turn 
against the angry ones, etc. But I should prefer the former interpretation. 
No. 170. A Rejoinder. 
Qiwinalaag. 
This was a drum song also well known far to the south (Kuannia had 
sung it in his youth). The contents are ironical. The attacker, Ammalokättaak, 
had repeatedly sung at his opponent Cilinitseq, until at last the latter be- 
came sick of it and left the neighbourhood. Ammalokättaak must have sung 
this song as a finale and solo, without, as is otherwise usual, being placed 
opposite his opponent. They never met again afterwards.
