Nores.— *(17) Only here is the name of the person killed earlier men- 
tioned, and who must be presumed to have belonged to Inuk’s housemates. 
* (19) Instead of en’upeuk. Cf. WGr. igin’erut ‘supply of blubber oil which 
runs out of the blubber by itself” However the form is not quite clear 
grammatically. 
# (33) I presume the word is intended as suka:- (cf. по. 1, 1.1) ‘charmeur, 
or coquette, perhaps with the sub-meaning, ‘one who clings to his own opin-

ly] No. 224. Uleewaaitsiaq. 
Kaaralik. 
Uleewaailsiaq is the same legendary hero who, in G. Holm’s variant, 
is known as Ulivatsiak and who there is associated with the legend about 
Uiarteq.! “Ulivatsiak could do all that he wanted” (ajugagamitsoq ‘uncon- 
querable’). He was of Uiartek’s family. Like another of Holm’s legendary 
figures, Matakatak,2 Ulivatsiak was renowned for his great sealing-net. — 
Holm was the first to tell us about the use made of the sealing-net in olden 
times in East Greenland both from these legends and from the current tra- 
dition on the subject, cf. First Part, р. 51—52: “In olden times people used 
to catch seals in nets made of whalebone and fastened to a long seal thong 
which was stretched across a narrow bay or the innermost part of a fjord.” 
Later Porsild® has proved that formerly whalebone-nets were used also in 
West Greenland. 
As commentary to this legend about Uleewaaitsiag, the father of the 
story-teller, Mitsuarnianna, gave me the following facts. 
“Uliwaaitsiag [that was his pronunciation of the name] was the same as 
Mattukataag [his pronunciation of Holm’s legendary hero, Matakatak]; these 
were his real names, but in the tales he was often called Qajaaitseq, meaning 
‘the one without a kaiak.’4 “Once upon a time, long ago, our forefathers had 
no real kaiaks, only a kind of woman-boats (umiagq).® At the time when 
Uliwaaitsiaq was alive people had first begun to get kaiaks, though he had 
none. Uleewaitsiaq caught seals with line, which was called puiliseelin, ‘a

with illustrations. 4 I have already discussed these facts, First Part, p. 402. 
5 More in regard this, First Part, p. 384—385. This detail (umiak-like kaiaks) be- 
longs to the very earliest “provincialisms” of East Greenland.
