2-15. It may be of interest to state that EGr. -piwarlartiwa is rendered by 
Rosing in WGr. thus: -p'uäL'artuma ; accordingly he conceives -{ar not to be 
‘is accustomed’, but as the well known intensive infix -Z'ar, which I have 
difficulty in believing to be textually correct, though it might well be justified 
according to the meaning. Line 6, my -{e‘yiltoyo corresponds with his -Н91- 
girugo. 15. My nätut-asiwaliyo'n = his nawL'urz'arasugalngit. 12. My nuke- 
gakain'ane = his nukeqakasigane. 
No. 187. Akernilik’s Drum-Song Against Kunnitse. 
Akernilik. 
This is Akernilik’s song of retort against Kunnitse, whose father, Kukut- 
toq, had first begun the drum-fighting against him in Ammassalik Fjord. 
Akernilik departed to sing against Kunnitse. He begins the song by reminding 
his opponent that his father had sung against him, and had hidden his 
drum-stick in his house-box, so that Akernilik himself had no stick to use 
for his answering song, and ends by mentioning the dismal action his wife 
had been guilty of when, during a time of hunger in the north, in Sermiligaq, 
she had fed on her father-in-law’s corpse.
