!nanni (XI)

In this story |xue becomes an ant, a butterfly, a fly, water, a buffalo, a snake, a tsan, a ||xuonna and a bird. |xue chases his wife in a variety of forms and eventually dies. His wife picks him up and puts him inside her kaross, but drops him when he becomes a ||xuonna. She goes on into her father's country. In another part of the account (also told to !nanni by Karu) |xue also becomes !naxane, an owl, a fly, a bee, a hyena and, finally, an ant. As a bee he bites and kills his father. |xue performs a doctoring ceremony and his father rises up and chases |xue. |xue and his father fight. Eventually, |xue settles on his father's head and he dies. |xue's father takes him off his head and sets |xue down on the ground, where he becomes an ant.
