Words of Songs
The following are the words of some songs:
1. The very first song of the cycle, where the Deer are made at Dark-mountain far in the west (par. 5). Deer sings: inyahavek tinyamk kanavek, west it-is-night, tell.
2. First song at Hoalye-ketekururve (par. 25), next to the last step in the journey, and the last at which the Deer sing. Hatekulye kanavek, Mountain-Lion tell-(of).
3. Same place, second song. Ipa amaimiyak kanavek, Arrow from-above tell.
4. Same, third song. Ipui-moṭe’ ipa’-maimiate ninyupakem hirra’a-môṭ(e), I-shall-not-die-arrow-from-above fall-on-me it-does-not-pain.
5. Same, fourth song, last by the Deer. Ito-nye-kyam ipa’-maimiak, Belly-in-shoot arrow-from-above.
6. Apparently Jaguar sings, at Land-blood-have: Himekeseik kwora’āk-oêve, Track-them old-man (= brother).
7. The same: Intomaku-moṭe itavere(m) viewêmeθ(a), Do-not-desist chasing continue.
8. The same: Hatapui viuêmhe kworaāk-oêve, Kill-them continue brother.
9. The final song of the cycle, still by Jaguar: Kwora’āk-oêvitš atšwoδavek himaṭva hikwīve tšaθwilve kosmave, Brother divide-it flesh horns hide sinew.
