Note 1 — Supernatural-being-who-went-naked

Reading edition

One day one of his younger brothers went out and shouted “Hū-ū-ū-ū-ī.”2 Then a cloud came out of the ocean. It came down in front of Gū′łg̣a.3 One stood in the place [which it touched] and they wrestled with each other. After they had wrestled for a while the younger brother of Supernatural-being-who-went-naked was pushed down, and he bewitched him. “Go to the flint point which sticks out in the rear of my father’s house,” [he said], and he went thither with noise (i.e., quickly).
