He must have gone off somewhere.

nikuwituutaánuʾ	tⁱnaákUx	wiítA	šohnatšičiínaahNA.
That is what he was doing	this	man	(with) the (du) animals he had.

na	číkuʾ noowitaáNAt	tⁱnaákUx	wiítA	wehninii-
And	then he went off somewhere	this	man	when he

číkuʾ NAhkučitaʾuuneéRIt	hawá	noowitatawiraáʾ.
After he had stood on some hill	also	then he came down.

The lodge must have been at the base of the hill	where he went.

noowitiwískaʾ	tičé tAxuúʾUt	naaxakaáWI	kananaaxiWIskáʾA	aaxteewaataáNA.
Then he (the boy) thought:	"I wonder why it is	that lodge	his not wanting it	'that you look in it?'

tičé tAxkaákUx.

I wonder what is inside?"

nootíʾAt	tⁱnaaríčI	wiináxtš	–	saakarikúkUx	–	wenaraa-	ʾiiranitkú.
Then he went	this	boy	–	the keys	–	as he was	trying them out.

Now	he must have gone to it	wherever it was	the key.

Then he opened the door	when he peeked inside	when he saw them.

Oh,	dead humans.

There were many dead bodies piled inside	dead humans

But surely	he didn't know	whatever tribes they were	the different kinds	humans.

wah	tiwehnaWIskáʾA	aatAhaakoósA	nookanawitiihaa-	keeriitikUxítIt.
Now	when he wanted	'that I lock it,'	then the door	did not proceed to lock.

Oh,	with difficulty	he locked it.
