Now that I am to compete with him 
who began the strife ? 
Meanwhile this (these) may be as it may 
While I wait for him to revenge himself, 
Let me sing a little at him! 
He had in mind to utter his displeasure 
with me, 
He had in mind to turn me into ridicule. 
I will jeer a little too, in all friendliness. 
I will criticize a little too, in all friend- 
liness. 
Why in the world, oh my “discarded” 
opponent, | 
Why do you smile (so mockingly)? 
Are you thinking that you did not give 
him over there any compensation? 
Him over there — your only relative, 
That because he bowed, you wrecked 
him ? 
That you did not give him over there 
any compensation 
When the relatives destroyed him? 
He is a wretched orphan, who has grown 
up big and strong, 
Let him but be proud of his strength 
and beauty, 
anakinuartiwa(r) 21 A mighty conjuror of spirits!

NOTES. — 1. Translation according to Sufia and Kunnia. qane = WGr. 
ganori- — 2-4. -lo-lo ‘both—and’ cannot find place in the translation. The suffix 
-up-a- has probably entered into the -a‘it- of these lines, whereby -niar- has been 
transformed into -nia‘i-. — The singer stands dubious weighing the pros and
