330 W. THALBITZER. 
The two first lines are in part the same as the two first lines of no. 183 
(and as Kruuse’s no. 62). 
а‘илата pisia ateliera”’n:a 1 (This is) my relation’s song, I now 
borrow, 
ata‘tinuna pisiale’na 2 That Attaatik’s former drum-song. 
orqua erterfera: 3 It calls up the Orqualand (in remem- 
| brance), 
up'a’se iwikan'ur - 4 You should have seen (heard) when we 
held drum combats! 
iwy'ertoqaleqa:" 5 Then the song began to sound loud, 
pice: rtoqaleqa'r 6 Then the drum-song began to boom! 
it dt-ak i”’nerainerternerseq 7 Is it Ittatak (“the laughter’) who comes 
to sing (at me)? 
piferiarnertérnérseq 8 I wonder if he is going to make songs 
| of contest,

on her, 
nuliäpuara taieralono 10 In order, also, to sing of my dear little 
wife. |

wife’s ears, 
arqanaqujonawe: 12 Would you also box her ears?

strike her! 
VARIANTS. — 13. at'elierana (?). — 102. ta‘ie-mano. 
NOTES. — 1. a'wia usually signifies ‘second-cousin’; here one would expect 
an older generation. аЁе- with long t undoubtedly an error in place of t, cf. 
Kruuse’s text with J. Petersen’s explanation: ateliriara'na ‘I also began to sing 
it” — 3. Presumably answering to a WGr. ers‘ertora’ ‘appears to him’, namely 
rises up in memory (е. с. through an old song). — 4. = WGr. uFa a'se't. 
up'a in EGr. usually signifies a surprised interrogation, but a'set what one 
just expected. — 7. it'ät'ak was understood by my informant as from ir'artoq 
‘loudly laughing’, but by J. Petersen as a nomen proprium. — 11. = ilama (2) 
‘my spouse’ (husband or wife). — 11-13. These words must all be referred to 
the same stem as WGr. arqunarpoq ‘suffers such injury that some of the 
internal parts are hurt’, is used transitively (but seldom) in the meaning 
‘strikes him (so that he is injured thereby). |

Kooitse (DD and Phon.) 
It is Kooitse’s father’s song of contest with AkWko. Compare the two 
first lines with nos. 1821? and 18512.
