Whatever their dream,
dɪ̠č‿du tƚí‿ˀɪƚ‿də_ɢ̣wə́ns,
ˈdɪtʃ‿du ˈtɬɪ‿ˀɪɬ‿də_ˈɢwəns,
that's what they have for their power.
wí·‿kwí·yæ‿ˀɪƚ_dɪ_nǽ·džɪs.
ˈwi·‿ˈkwi·yæ‿ˀɪɬ_dɪ_ˈnæ·dʒɪs.
Even if a snake,
mái‿hwaʔyá·s,
ˈmɑi‿hwɑʔˈyɑ·s,
not all kinds of snakes,
wí‿ˀan‿ gu·s‿dží‿hwaʔyá·s,
ˈwi‿ˀɑn‿ gu·s‿ˈdʒi‿hwɑʔˈyɑ·s,
but all of that kind
wí‿gu·s‿kwi
ˈwi‿gu·s‿kwi
he saw as persons,
kʼaʔái‿hamaqʼ,
kʼɑˈʔɑi‿hɑmɑqʼ,
(all of) just that one kind of snake.
má·tsi hɪčʼí x̣‿wæn hwáʔyás.
ˈmɑ·tsi hɪˈtʃʼi χ‿wæn ˈhwɑʔˈyɑs.
That is how their day (power) was.
x̣‿wæ·n‿ tƚɪ‿ˀɪƚ_da_ɢ̣aháis.
χ‿ˈwæ·n‿ tƚɪ‿ˀɪɬ_dɑ_ɢɑˈhɑis.
If their day was red headed woodpecker,
mái‿læɢ̣ǽlq tƚɪ‿ˀɪƚ_da_ɢ̣aháis,
ˈmɑi‿læˈɢælq tɬɪ‿ˀɪɬ_dɑ_ɢɑˈhɑis,
then they saw them as persons,
wǽ·‿x̣‿ kʼaʔái‿ˀɪƚ‿kwi‿hámáqʼ,
ˈwæ·‿χ‿ kʼɑˈʔɑi‿ˀɪɬ‿kwi‿ˈhɑˈmɑqʼ,
and as persons
wí‿kwí‿ˀɪƚ‿x̣‿kʼáʔai
ˈwi‿ˈkwi‿ˀɪƚ‿χ‿ˈkʼɑʔɑi
understood their language.
qaʔwáya‿dɪ_tƚí·s.
qɑʔˈwɑyɑ‿dɪ_ˈtɬɪ·s.
Whatever their day,
dɪ́č‿tƚɪ‿ˀɪƚ_dá_ɢ̣aháis,
ˈdɪtʃ‿tɬɪ‿ˀɪɬ_ˈdɑ_ɢɑˈhɑis,
they were all like that.
wí‿gu·s‿kwí‿x̣‿wæ·n.
ˈwi‿gu·s‿ˈkwi‿χ‿wæ·n.
No matter what their day,
mái‿dɪč tƚɪ‿ˀɪƚ_dá_ɢ̣aháis,
ˈmai‿dɪtʃ tɬɪ‿ˀɪɬ_ˈdɑ_ɢɑˈhɑis,
they were also able to like that.
ma‿ˀɪ̠ƚ‿hɪs‿kwí‿x̣‿wæ·n
ma‿ˈˀɪƚ‿hɪs‿ˈkwi‿χ‿ˈwæ·n
understand their language
qaʔwáya‿dɪ_tƚí·s.
qɑʔˈwɑyɑ‿dɪ_ˈtɬɪ·s.
If their day was yellowhammer,
mái‿gwʊtsgwí·næ ˀɪ̠ƚ_ˈdá_ɢ̣aháis,
ˈmai‿gwʊtsˈgwi·næˈ ˀɪɬ_ˈdɑ_ɢɑˈhɑis,
they knew its language too.
ma‿ˀɪ̠ƚ‿kwi‿qaʔwáya‿dɪ_tƚí·s.
mɑ‿ˈˀɪƚ‿kwi‿qɑʔˈwɑyɑ‿dɪ_ˈtɬɪ·s.
If dog,
mái‿yɛ́k̯ʼlu,
ˈmɑi‿ˈyɛkʲʼlu,
they knew its language.
ma‿ˀɪ̠ƚ‿kwi‿qaʔwáya‿dɪ_tƚí·s.
mɑ‿ˈˀɪɬ‿kwi‿qɑʔˈwɑyɑ‿dɪ_ˈtɬɪ·s.
If it's some sort of food (meat, fish),
wí‿yu‿qʼwə́nyaᵘ‿dɪč
ˈwi‿yu‿ˈqʼwənyɑᵘ‿dɪtʃ
tƚɪ‿ˀɪƚ_dá_ɢ̣aháis,
tƚɪ‿ˀɪɬ_ˈdɑ_ɢɑˈhɑis,
then that food was their day.
wí‿yu‿qʼwə́nyaᵘ‿ ˀɪ̠ƚ_da_ɢ̣aháis.
ˈwi‿yu‿ˈqʼwənyɑᵘ‿ˈ ˀɪɬ_dɑ_ɢɑˈhɑis.
Whatever sort of food
mái‿dɪč‿qʼwə́nyau
ˈmɑi‿dɪtʃ‿ˈqʼwənyɑu
was their day,
tƚí‿ˀɪƚ_da_ɢ̣aháis,
ˈtɬɪ‿ˀɪɬ_dɑ_ɢɑˈhɑis,
they did not eat it,
ˀan‿ˀɪ̠ƚ‿du‿dlá·ᵘ,
ˀɑn‿ˈˀɪɬ‿du‿ˈdlɑ·ᵘ,
because they saw it as if
náim‿kʼaʰ x̣‿kʼa‿ʔái
ˈnɑim‿kʼɑʰχ‿kʼɑ‿ˈʔɑi
it were a person.
ˀɪƚ_hámaqʼ.
ˀɪɬ_ˈhɑmɑqʼ.
That is why they did not eat what
wǽ·n‿dɪč tƚɪ‿ˀɪƚ‿kwí‿ˀaɴ‿dlá·ᵘ
ˈwæ·n‿dɪtʃ tɬɪ‿ˀɪɬ‿ˈkwi‿ˀɑɴ‿ˈdlɑ·ᵘ
their day was.
dɪ̠č‿tƚɪ‿ˀɪƚ_dá_ɢ̣aháis.
ˈdɪtʃ‿tɬɪ‿ˀɪɬ_ˈdɑ_ɢɑˈhɑis.
They said of it thus,
wǽn‿ˀɪƚ‿du‿ˀɪ́ldwa,
ˈwæn‿ˀɪɬ‿du‿ˈˀɪldwɑ,
if they should have eaten
ˀi‿ˀɪƚ‿kwí·‿ƚdzát
ˀi‿ˀɪƚ‿ˈkwi·‿ƚˈdʒɑt
their day,
tƚɪ‿ˀɪƚ_da_ɢ̣aháis,
tƚɪ‿ˀɪɬ_dɑ_ɢɑˈhɑis,
that then their day would take vengeance on them
(causing their death).
wí‿dlə́lyúʔwa tƚə‿da_x̣‿ɢ̣aháis.
ˈwi‿ˈdləlˈyuʔwɑ tɬə‿dɑ_χ‿ɢɑˈhɑis.
That is why
wǽ·n‿dɪčtƚɪ‿
ˈwæ·n‿dɪtʃ tɬɪ‿
they were fearful,
ˀɪƚ‿kwi‿ˀálqsa,
ˀɪɬ‿kwi‿ˈˀɑlqsɑ,
they did not eat it.
ˀan‿ˀɪ́ƚ‿du‿dlá·ᵘ
ˀan‿ˈˀɪɬ‿du‿ˈdlɑ·ᵘ
(so) whatever was their day
dɪč‿tƚí‿ˀɪƚ_dá_ɢ̣aháis.
dɪtʃ‿ˈtɬɪ‿ˀɪɬ_ˈdɑ_ɢɑˈhɑis.
Even though other people ate
mái‿maʰ‿dɪčx̣‿kʼáʰ‿dlá·ᵘ‿dɪč
ˈmɑi‿mɑʰ‿dɪtʃχ‿ˈkʼɑʰ‿ˈdlɑ·ᵘ‿dɪtʃ
their day,
tƚɪ‿ˀɪƚ_dá_ɢ̣aháis,
tɬɪ‿ˀɪƚ_ˈdɑ_ɢɑˈhɑis,
they (those who had it for a power) were afraid (to eat it).
wí‿ˀalqsá_ʔɪƚ.
ˈwi‿ˀɑlˈqsɑ_ʔɪɬ.
That is why the people feared
x̣‿wæ·n‿tƚə́‿kʼatƚɪ‿ˀɪƚ‿kwi‿ˀálqsa
χ‿ˈwæ·n‿ˈtɬə‿kʼɑtɬɪ‿ˀɪƚ‿kwi‿ˈˀɑlqsɑ
their own day.
tƚɪ‿ˀɪƚ_dá_ɢ̣aháis.
tɬɪ‿ˀɪɬ_ˈdɑ_ɢɑˈhɑis.
