Notes. — 1. The suffix -z'warisa < -luara: ‘is ill pleased with her.’ The 
meaning is ‘a daughter-in-law refused by his parents’, “a girl he wanted, but 
whom they refused to recognise” (explained thus by Kuannia, who added 
that ‘a wished for daughter-in-law’ is called ukuak:umanisa). The mood used 
in the verb (-rune) in this and the following three lines signifies something 
like: ‘what did it help him even if she was so.” 
2. Even the epithet here applied to the ‘daughter-in-law with the ‘pret- 
tily worn hair tuft’ betrays a train of thought which is not old Eskimo, but 
has a modern flair. 
5. (cf. 15). kamas'awir'onma, lit. ‘seriously angry’ might perhaps be ех- 
pressed better in our style as ‘with bitterly wounded heart.’ 
9-10. tam:a'rpoq ‘draws the boat on land and pitches tent; encamps on 
the way for the night or from some days.’ ati®n'ut ‘to or on the spot below 
me, i. е. beneath the place where my house or tent stands.’
