NOTES. — A1. = ilale pege‘oma. The first word is an “interjection”, with 
which the person who sings reassures himself (makitasa'rsune), as it were; the 
second, cf. WGr. per:o:rpog(?), is to denote the singer’s boldness. — 3. In WGr. 
this name would be rendered Ayioruk. — 6-7. ‘Cousins brought together’ 
namely by marriage or adoption. — 8-10. Here the grammatical connection 
is such that we translate 10 as the subject and 8-9 as the object of the verb 
in 1.10. — 11 (cf. 16 and В 13). pits- (or pic:-?) is probably the stem of the. 
WGr. pis’ak ‘strength’ and pis'aq ‘strong. — 12. The termination -{e‘wa does 
not agree. with -L’o'na in Kruuse’s version. In the latter -lo and una are con- 
tracted, and this rendering suits best in the context. My -fe-wa may perhaps 
be a mistake for -lewna < -le and -una, (cf. line 19 -t-o-:na). kit-enani (cf. 14 
and 16) ‘from his birth’, lit. ‘boundary’, i. e. from the moment when he meant 
something in the life, in existence. — 14. = i~p-ertakajikujona (Kuannia). — 
15 (cf. 18 and 20). < nakerguiarpa: ‘deprives him of his forces, makes away 
with him.’ The matter is that the 
singer has replaced a weaker one 
and now wishes in the presence of 
their common opponent to maintain 
that his protégé is by no means 
easily vanquished. This is said with 
the usual irony. 
No. 181. The Dream. 
AakWkaaq. 
Kruuse also has this song (his 
no. 2), in an even more detailed ver- 
sion. Our texts do not much resemble 
each other, which is due not only 
to the misprints or orthographical 
errors in Kruuse’s version and pos- 
sible mistakes in mine, but also to 
the variants of the communicators, 
due to tradition (see the notes). But 
when all is said Kruuse’s (i. e. Johan 
Petersen’s) translation presents a 
fuller idea of the contents of the 
song than my much too abbreviated 
text; and therefore I shall here give 
Kruuse’s text in English.
