In old days Adam and his family 
were created first of all mankind. 
Adam and his family died because 
God became angry with the human 
species.) They had successors, and 
it was about some of their genera- 
tion that one of them (a woman) told 
this: (2) 
1 My offspring I deprived him of 
— his dear little wife. 
2 My offspring I robbed him of 
his wife. 
3 To the seal’s emerging place 
furthest out on the sea 
4 He did not succeed in extend- 
ing his lurking.) 
The son lost his wife by his mother 
stealing her from him; Okuamaag, 
that one, (old woman) took a wife. 4) 
The mother had gone out hunting in 
a kaiak, and had caught a Greenland 
seal (a'ta'q). After having got her catch 
she scolded her son about the seal he 
had (not) killed, scolding her son be- 
cause of the Greenland seal ©). The 
same Okuamaaq uttered misleading 
or lying: “What! as if your dagger ...!” 
(her son).©) Therewith she moved 
steadily on, kaiaking. What! (how 
scandalous!) because she had taken 
a fancy to her son’s wife she lied.” 
She rowed back with her (to the coast) 
where they now began to live. The 
son returned kaiaking to fetch the one 
he (she?) had rowed away with, his 
future bride.@) What! his future bride 
had gone away. The woman — her 
mother-in-law had taken her with 
рег. (9) When she travelled home- 
wards towards land, the daughter-in- 
law had wished to leave her mother- 
in-law, but the mother-in-law said: 
»Oh, I am nearly choking, [from exer- 
tion], stop and wait a little for me!” 
The daughter-in-law caught hold of 
her and she rowed away with her. (10) 
When her husband at last came 
home his wife was not there. The 
husband did not know what he should 
do; not knowing where she was he 
turned back and journeyed away. (1) 
He finally reached both of them 
(where) his wife had got a house. (2) 
Her husband asked her: “Why have 
you gone away?” His wife replied: 
“When I travelled away my mother- 
in-law said: Do you begin to stab 
vour future mother-in-law (sakia)?” —
