a—is" it: oq 5 Ah, how cold it is! 
a—is‘up'it? 6 Ah, do you feel it cold? 
NOTES. — 5-6. < is'se ‘cold’? The explanation is given by Ole Enoch- 
sen, but formally the word could be derived regularly from igssugpoq (Klein- 
schmidt, Dictionary p. 18) ‘have swollen testicles’, which would be, how- 
ever, a strange question to address to a child, so the first explanation is the 
more probable.

NOTES. — 1—2. Cf. Amm. -pe‘juk e.g. in no. 21936 (р. 418); and no. 223 
B 33-35 (p.428). I compare this ending with the vocative suffix -ujok known from 
the Alaska Eskimo. (See Barnum, $$ 156 and 344—351 “О Catilina, О you!) 
Here, in the dialect from East Greenland it occurs as an obsolete ending in proper 
names, /ttimaaneejuk for instance (in the West Greenland dialect the termin- 
ation would be -yoojuk) but it is also found in other words as an affectionate 
or flattering suffix, e.g. nuliam'e‘juk in no. 167 3-2; silane-jon-una ‘a good 
little fellow’ (to praise a child). Ole Enochsen explained the two first lines in 
the verse as an expression of mild challenge, almost as if the meaning were: 
“Be so good as to sleep, or dream!” while the next two lines contain a more 
definite command (imperative). — 5. umikulo:lik must be a Greenlandic ver- 
sion of the Danish Ole Lukoje, the English ‘sand-mand’, < umertoq, ‘one 
who gazes with drawn eye-brows or with sleepy blinking eyes.” The suffix 
-kulo-q ‘pretty little one’ or ‘poor little one.’

Nore. — Here we find the child’s pagan name, Abia, which he has 
been given after a deceased relative, a heathen. In the song, however, the 
little heathen is visited by the Christian child soul, which bears the same
