Note 79 — 5

Soon they reached the town and they danced and Iwaginan and Nagten-ngᴇyan danced again and the water from the river went up into the town and the fish bit her feet. Not long after that they stopped dancing and Iwaginan made Gawigawen and Aponībolinayen dance. While they were dancing Gawigawen watched Aponībolinayen, and when they had danced around nine times Gawigawen seized her and put her in his belt.79 “Why do you do that Gawigawen?” said Kadayadawan to him, and he threw his spear and Gawigawen fell down and Aponībolinayen escaped and Kadayadawan put her in a room. As soon as he put her in the room he went to bring Gawigawen back to life. Not long after he revived him, “Why did you do that, Gawigawen? I did not steal Aponībolinayen from you.” And Gawigawen said, “Even if you did steal Aponībolinayen from me, she was my wife and I could not find her until now. That is why I put her in my belt, and Aponībalagen knows that she is my wife.” And Kadayadawan said, “She is my wife now.”
