Lucy Lloyd |xam notebooks

han≠kass'o (Klein Jantje) (VIII)

<i>...the visit of //khwái-hemm (the All-devourer) to the Mantis. The latter, by means of the Porcupine, invites //khwái-hemm to visit him. He comes, and presently swallows /kwámmana and the Mantis. They are rescued by young /kwámmana and another child, who cut the monster open (L VIII.-20. 7812-7816, 22. 7906-7956). //khwái-hemm is stated, by /han≠kass'o (on the information of his mother /kábbi-an), to be the father of the Porcupine (L VIII.-10. 6934 rev., note).</i>
