Note 2 — The story of him through whom Łᴀ′gua spoke
Reading edition
My informant added that all of the people drank sea water with him for ten days and repeated everything that he said. Every time he spoke he began with the word Ha′gugwâk. He said to them: “Shall I get this?” pulling at something meantime with his teeth and hands. At the end of ten days he got it and told the singers that he had pulled it ashore with his teeth, some of which were broken by the strain. It was his supernatural helper. ↑
