The meaning of the sentence is: they raise their voices to call him out. Conjurers are in the habit of fastening a fox-skin outside of their lodges, as a business sign, and to let it dangle from a rod stuck out in an oblique direction. 583, 3. tch[/e]l[x]a. During the treatment of a patient, who stays in a winter house, the lodge is often shut up at the top, and the people sit in a circle inside in utter darkness. 583, 5. liuki[/a]mnank.

The distributive form of tch[^u]'t[']na refers to each of the _various_ manipulations performed by the conjurer on the patient. 584, 1. m[=a]'shish, shortened from m[=a]sh[/i]pkash, m[=a]'shipksh, like [k=]'l[:a]'ksh from k[']l[:a]k[/a]pkash. 584, 2. 3. There is a stylistic incongruity in using the distributive form, only in kuku[`a]ga (k[/u]e, _frog_), k[/a]haktok, and in nshendshk[/a]ne (nshek[/a]ni, npsh[/e]kani, ts[/e]kani, tch[/e]k[)e]ni, _small_), while inserting the absolute form in wishink[/a]ga (w[/i]shink, _garter-snake_) and in [k=][/a][k=]o; m[^u]'lkaga is more of a generic term and its distributive form is therefore not in use. 583, 2. k[/a]haktok for k[/a]-akt ak; k[/a]-akt being the transposed distributive form k[/a]kat, of k[/a]t, which, what (pron. relat.). 584, 4. lg[^u]'m.
