Sect. 10. G. Glides sisuvoq; tumbles down ordluvoq, iipipoq-,
approaches patdligpd.

Sect. 11. G. Frail qajangnartoq; elastic ajoringujuitsoq,
eqivoq; water imeq.

Sect. 12. G. Teaches, informs ajoqersorpd. Afx. probably
gungnarpoq.

Sect. 13. G. He says, or they say, appended particle goq.

Sect. 14. G. Distress perdluk; is busy idapipoq.

Sect. 15. G Fights with him pdvd; watches the house paivoq
takes care of it pdrd] store, property pequt; is lost tdmarpoq; is
without shelter tujormivoq.

Sect. 10. G. is angry ningagpoq; is despondent ugguarpoq;
is desirous pileritsagpoq; is .joyful tipditsugpoq; wishes to be as
happy as he usord’, a malefactor pinerdlugtoq; finds it ridiculous
tivsigd. Afx. awkwardly, nasty kasik.

As to words designating the ideas of Good and Evil, in
discriminating their physical and their moral signification, some
confusion was caused in G. by the contact with Europeans and the
Christian instruction. The stemword ajorpoq, signifying „bad" in
the sense of inability and sickness, was adopted for „sin".
Perhaps the most appropriate radical word for application within the
sphere of thought here in question is: sila, which signifies reason,
but comprises willing and doing as well as knowing what is rational;
silatuvoq is wise and noble-minded, the reverse of sildipoq. In
the other dialects apparently, some peculiar stemwords are rendering
a similar service. In L, M. and \V. „nako" seems to be used for
morally good, but it remains uncertain to which of the similar
words in G. it is related, nako physical and spiritual strength, or
ndkora loves him.

Sect. 18. G. swallows it ivd; frozen meat quaq; feels it as
an inconvenience igpigd; is healthy per qigpoq; is suffocated ipivoq.

Sect. 21. G. Weapon in general, and a small harpoon
particularly used for seal catching on the ice: sdko; the rather strange
apellation in Wn. of the line attached to a horpoon for stabbing
sabromia, reminds faintly of sdkomio, ^something attached to sdko."

Sect. 26. Wn. The sea oonane of course is the „unane" in
L., „yonder or seaward among the islands"; but imaq certainly
also must be known, as it is found in Ws. and A.

Sect. 27. G. Sheltered place orqoq; voice, melody erinaq.
