Nenk·îlsʟasʟiñgai’s88 mother was Gēʟîk·ᴇdzā′t (“Flood-tide-woman”). His father was ʟg̣ang̣ag·îñ (“Dorsal-fin”),89 whose sister’s son was called ʟg̣anxē′la (“Hole-in-dorsal fin”). He was born in Naēku′n. Now, Nenk·îlsʟasʟiñgai was crying all the time. The people tried to quiet him, and they gave him various things to play with, but he was not satisfied. There was a young girl, Qalgaitsadas (“Ice-woman”).90 She also tried to quiet him. She took him in her arms, and he at once ceased crying. He touched her breasts and was quiet. After a little while she returned him to his mother. At once he began to cry again, but when she took him again he quieted down when he touched her breast.
