* (22) This saying must be meant as one of the Inaliliks who will now 
only think of vengeance on the Innuit. 
_* (23) atalerpa‘k I read as nat'alerpak (cf. WGr. naL'arpog). Father and

* (26) The meaning of this rather obscure description may possibly be as 
follows: The son wakes first, from a restless dream, and notices someone 
else in the house-passage whom he stabs, but without killing him. The father 
wakes and kills the enemy first stabbed by his son. Gradually as the enemies

his son Arättia” (Aqättiaq). — According to the West Greenland account, 
Aqissiaq had two sons of his paternal uncle as play-mates. 
For the rest, Qiwinasaaq’s. narrative is extremely fragmentary. It has 
nothing in the beginning about the two men’s catch from the ice hummock, 
but commences at once with the enumeration of Arattiaq’s catches of a 
“spotted seal, a common seal, a bearded seal, a crested seal, a Greenland

The name Koopajeeq is applied both to а troll people and to the “big 
troll-woman” separately.! In my opinion Koopajeeq is a name derived from
