ete. and awalaiag ‘something used for treating, food set forth. — 12. WGr. 
sequmip'0q. — 14. According to Kuannia is picam:dt = nunamut tulam'at. But 
Sufia understood the meaning of the word thus: “Because he (it) is envious 
or mischievous’ (2). Cf. notes 16 and 24. — 16. tut-utam:(at)-. According to the 
form and the context this word might seem to be derived from WGr. fup:oq 
‘strikes (for example with one’s boat) against something firm’, but the deriva- 
tion here used in the poem is otherwise unknown. Sufia gave quite another 
explanation in connecting it with WGr. fusuwoqg: »Because he (it) is full of 
envy. — 21 (and 23). The verbal termination -qa'rasut- appears sometimes, 
cf. goluga'rastitog ‘puts on a sweet and smiling face’ and an’erga'rasütog 
‘puts on a sour (гео) face’, cf. also no. 42: elogasin’erpogq and e:toqa'pa:q 
‘he lives very long. — 22. Ukuttiaq corrected this to tuso:kajik ‘satisfied (in 
his revenge). Perhaps! (Sufia took culo’kajik as a proper name). — 24. Under- 
stood both by Ukuttiag, Sufia and Johan Petersen as {usorto‘kajik ‘full of 
envy.’ Kuannia conceived it to be culoco‘kajin ‘one who has*thin excrement, 
stomach-ache’ (a term of abuse).
