Note 14 — War between the people of Kloo and the people of Ninstints

At Masset the following explanation of this name was given: A man desiring to become wealthy once ate a common plant called xat-gī′na (i.e., “common xat”) mistaking it for the true xat, which is supposed to be a powerful property medicine. Nevertheless he became wealthy and assumed the name Ginᴀ′skilas, a contraction of Xat-ginᴀ′skilas (“Wealthy-by-means-of-common-xat”), in commemoration of the fact. This Ginᴀ′skilas succeeded South-east as town chief of Kloo. ↑
