Moolätte’s variants are only of interest as showing that this story and 
poem was known also at his home on the east coast, Timmiarmeen. The 
text of the phonogram is, as usual, not quite to be relied upon, as the words 
of the song are easily misheard from the phonograph. As against the awåt'- 
ame of his dictation (in conformity with the rest of the variants) the phono- 
graph (X) has, so far as my ear can catch it, ergarter”e (see 1.2), therefore 
another word which means ‘on the (place) in the vicinity (out on the sea).’ 
Line 5 presumably is quite distorted in my version (in place of erne:ra, etc.).

When a woman, whose son married, got her daughter-in-law for com- 
panion on the platform a desire for the other awoke in her, though she 
herself was a woman. When her son had gone out in his kaiak as far as 
he could, she is said to have caught a Greenland seal. While (She towed it) 
in towards the firm land (she sang): 
gamo’ime awätame 1 At the lurking place furthest out at sea, 
ata rsuapiwi* 2 The dear, great Greenland seals! 
She accustomed herself to (mating with) the woman by sewing the 
kaiak-skin [the point of the kaiak-cover?| and making it into a penis.
