Summary
Oikommo is within the hofo,
With our tribe there is Oikommo,
And whence cometh Oikommo,
And from where does he come?
He comes from the clouds,
From the clouds he comes;
And why does he come so far?
And why does he come?
In his land are no bread and few women
In his land is no bread;
And what is the name of the stranger,
And what is his name?
His name is Whiffena Ri-e-i,
His name is Whiff-en-a,
And partly his name is Itoma,
Itoma is also his name;
And what is he called by his man friends,
And what is his other name?
His privy name is Ei-fo-ke,
Ei-fo-ke is his privy name;
And why is he called Ei-fo-ke?
