No. 272. Drum-fight against Ciänialik. 
Aawtaaritaa (DD and Phon.). 
Aawtaaritaa had a cousin (the son of his father’s brother), Ittisaaraliag 
by name, who lived near Ammassalik. This cousin had a friend, Cianialik, 
who lived further south near Ittoluarsiwin, with whom he had a falling-out 
while visiting him, because Ciänialik had been churlish and ordered the 
women and children accompanying Ittisaaraliaq into the tent. Hence the 
contest.

Notes. — 4 (cf. 7). Cf. West Greenland na‘lakisa rlip'a ‘subjects another 
to one’s commands; browbeats him.’ — 5. The meaning is perhaps ironical: 
Here among us, women have their freedom. — 9. Inwnortik was known as 
a place near Ittoluarsiwin.
