being (game animal), shall enlarge (add unto) my heart.
Which finished, he scoops up, with his hand, some of the blood and sips
it; then, tearing forth the liver, ravenously devours a part of it, and
exclaims, "E-lah-kwa!" (Thanks).
While skinning and quartering the game he takes care to cut out the
_tragus_ or little inner lobe of its ear, the clot of blood within the
heart (ae[']-te mul u-li-k'o-na), and to preserve some of the hair.
Before leaving, he forms of these and of the black paint, corn pollen,
beads of turkois or turkois dust, and sacred shell or broken shell and
coral beads before mentioned, a ball, and on the spot where the animal
ceased to breathe he digs a grave, as it were, and deposits therein,
with prayer-meal, this strange mixture, meanwhile saying the following
prayer:
Si! Lu-k'ia yaet-ton-ne, k'ia-pin-ha-i, to-pin-ta yaet-ton-ne to-pin-ta
