contras. — 10-11. In his explan- 
ation of these lines the infor- 
mant added the shorter forms 
mil aiserter ‘a mocker’ and qa- 
caca‘ler ‘one who causes dis- 
content’, cf. WGr. gasaga (and 
-saiwoq ‘brings (it) about’?) — 
12. so‘rso'r = $0*4 ‘why’. —. The 
ending -koiga is somewhat 
puzzling. Is it derived from -ko 
‘refuse, remains of something’, 
‘а discard’, or is it a verbal 
termination (< -k'up'a ‘соп- 
siders it—’?). In-(p)aik:-, -rajik- 
must be concealed. Kuannia 
compared it to -rajik in akerge: 
lorajik, kama:torajik.— 13. WGr. 
quia p‘0q ‘stimulates to laughter, 
especially by taking part in 
drum song and dance. The 
termination -lik (i. e. -uik) is no 
doubt in place of -tit ‘you. —

problematical. The above given 
translation postulates the correction from -mim'at to -migam'at. — 16-18 (cf. 
14). The terminations -k'e and -k'i show an incidental difference, as the 
meaning must be identical; but the interpretation is uncertain, either ‘you 
— it (or him)’, or ‘I —it (him). — 18. The relatives are his parents (according 
to Sufia). — 22. Or perhaps: ‘From where do his qualifications as angakok 
originate?’ -niyiwa = WGr. -nerina (or -neriga) < -neq verb abstract ending 
with 3rd possessive suffix(?), cf. 1.23 and 26 (cf. also по. 103, 1. 3). -ca‘ivkaluar- 
perhaps indicates that the pupil’s training ‘should have been’, but was not, 
carried out. — 23. e‘lerqiwik a place-name? It is probable that e-lerqiwik is 
the same word as iliwerqiwik, only contracted, 1) ‘a depository, a blubber-pit’ 
2) ‘a grave’ in general (also, otherwise, iliweg). The angakut often get their 
training and first assistant spirit by a lonely grave. — 25. elertertor cf. WGr. 
isertortog ‘who hides himself’ refers to the angakok’s secret place of training.

eR'orsiwik, ‘the washing place’ which is here either a place-name, or, more 
likely, refers to the place where the pupil bathes or washes with sea-weed 
on the beach, in order to clean himself before beginning his training.

Anittänne A, Kättuarajee BX, Sara Y. 
Kättuarajee characterized this song as an old drum song with outbreaks, 
(a qatteewaarter). The refrain agrees in both phonograms, but the words of 
the text are very much blended with the elements of the refrain, or are
