Riddles of the Ten’a Indians. 193 21. Tla-dzor-karas’ana: nit-orotaayu suka taak yit, nil kayi Riddle-me: cousins (= relatives) marten parkies in, each-other not- t§denix. — Ans.: Suka dzara. reaching stretch-their-hands-to. The-marten’s ears. Riddle me: near relatives, in their marten-fur coats, stretch their hands towards each other. — The marten’s ears. Two related families commonly lived in the Ten’a house, occupying opposite positions, one on each side of the fire-place (see 65). Hence the phrase “relatives stretching their hands towards each other”, is used to express that similar objects face each other without touching. Here these objects are presented as clothed in marten-fur, which clearly designates them as two symmetrical parts of the animal’s body; and as the legs can touch each other, the ears are easily singled out. 22. Tla-dzor-karas’ ana: no- keiledzets ka te-keita. — Ans.: Suka ru. Riddle-me: around it-is-pegged like it-is. The-marten’s teeth. Riddle me: they are like little pegs, planted around. —The marten’s teeth. The comparison is not inapt, but seems rather lacking in preciseness. The Ten’a generally made their pegs out of birch wood, which is white, and thus they resembled teeth. The prefix no expresses that they are placed on a curving or roughly semicircular line. With these data, a Ten’a ought to guess the answer. 23. Tla-dzor-karas-ana: yuniir koledzida no-dat’dn, ka to-ruta. — Riddle-me: yonder halls it-carries-across, like it-is. — Ans.: T§niga kolgdzida. The-moose kidneys. Riddle me: it carries a pair of balls across its back. — The kidneys of the moose. In this riddle the special force of the clue comes from the language used and from the assonance or rather identity, of the word koledzida , which designates both a ball and a kidney. The adverb uunur might be understood as meaning “at the end of, in the hind part of”; no, with the peculiar form of verb which accompanies it, dat’on , means “across”; the verb itself implies that one ball, or at most a pair of them, is being carried, and this either on the person of the agent or to his advantage. All these details leave some ambiguity which the word koledzida completely removes. 24. Tla-dzor-karas’ana: se tie tokot nil-ka dall§yol. Riddle-me: my head on-top-of in-opposite-directions it-has-snowed. — Var.: se tie tokot nil-kaatse dadgyus. — Ans.: a) Dgbeye; my head on-top-of in-opposite-directions it-is-furred. — The big-horn; b) dqbeye tie tokot. the big-horn’s head on-top-of. Riddle me: on the top of my head the snow has fallen in two mounds; or, the hair is parted in two. — The mountain-sheep; the head of the mountain- sheep. Antbropos VIII. 1913. 13
