Notes. — 0) ertätiwun, cf. WGr. inerterpa’ ‘warns, dissuades, defends; 
instructs, trains him (against perils).’ 
(2) Cf. WGr. pujo'‘rpoq < pujoq, ‘vapour, which cleaves, for example, to 
the people who have had to do with the corpse of a dead. Cf. nos. 74a, 75. 
(4) ta rlog is the same for ‘darkness’ and ‘assistant spirit” I can not 
decide which is meant here. Cf. (4), 
(7) Here the meaning must be that the dweller on the interior speaks, 
and exhorts the disciple to stamp on the ground when he wants to sum- 
mon him.

(14) ‘Darkness, (the word also means ‘assistant spirit, cf. © and @1)), — 
‘Interior.’ The explanation of the ‘darkness’ is either that everything is wrap- 
ped in mist on the inland ice (its crevices) or that the place lies under the 
surface, so that the light cannot penetrate. — ile'tsi-, cf. WGr. tluifsog ‘whole.’ 
(15) ‘tarpun-, possibly mistake for ‘ta'rpup- < WGr. Чагогрит-. 
(17) It is reported from the West coast (Rink, ‘Gronleendernes gamle Tro’, 
p. 221) that “the bear of the inland ice has no hair on the head,” and that 
“the whole body is overgrown with a shell of ice”; further that “it is of 
enormous size and possesses peculiar sagacity; one special bear carrying a 
pointed horn on its neck.” 
(23) He flew angakok-wise. 
(25) (Dja'ja is otherwise the ‘moon,’ First Р. p.290. Here, however, seems 
to be meant a place on the earth nearer to the regions of the men. The word 
contains probably, in reality, a variant form of the same stem we have in 
Eeajuätsiag lit. ‘a kind of man’, the name of a mythic dwarf people, or gob- 
lins who live in the neighborhood of the human habitations. — In the WGr. 
moonland only one house is mentioned and besides a mountain cavern in 
which lives the comical woman, who extracts entrails of the visitors who 
burst into laughter at the sight of her, and afterwards eats them (see Rink, 
1866, pp. 87 and 166, and 1871, рр. 43—44 and 191). — narfalaleg, ‘lying on the 
back,’ answers to WGr. ‘nerfalasoq (Rink, 1871, р. 199, “people who had at- 
tempted to become an angakok, and who, without attaining to this, had got 
ability to discover hidden things and causes. They performed this lying 
stretched out on their backs on the platform, with a skin drawn over their 
heads”). 
* (27) It looks as if this is meant for a sort of explanation of the name 
Qittisüinnag; as if it were connected with the verb qi®t:iwoq (WGr. qi®s’i-
