Sometimes the slayer of an animal said to those coming to aid in carrying the mean, "Cañkéȼai-gă. P̣áhaⁿ támiñke." "Let it lie, I will give it entire to someone." All would depart. But it often happened that someone else, not the slayer, spoke these words, causing even the slayer to depart without carving the animal. Wdj.
