Note 29 — Sacred-one-standing-and-moving, Stone-ribs, and Upward
Reading edition

After he had swelled up so as to fill this, they found it out. Then [Qꜝā′g̣awa-i] took his spear and speared him. Instead of being harmed he stretched it more and the canoe became covered with water. Immediately the salt water boiled. He captured his skin. He opened his mouth for them. As many as were fishing came fast into his mouth, but for some purpose he let two persons go home.

They lay near the shore without skins. Fins were on them.29 Then he went in to his mother.
