Wait a minute, something's wrong. I was sleepy at the time and I also blame
the Cuban missile crisis...
Something's wrong somewhere in my translation. Perhaps it would make far
better sense that Hulaie is Fuke's brother, not the grandfather, who gets
the magistracy... Right, okay, well, then that makes Zia Hulaie's _nephew_
and Fuke's son. All clicks so far, I think.
Thus, Hulaie is Zia's _uncle_, not grandfather. Tr�s Omaha kinship system. I
doubt that Fuke's grandfather would survive Fuke, being at least 60, way too
old to be given anything at that death-come-soon age so Hulaie must be the
brother of Fuke for any of this to make sense. Everyone follow? Yes, I think
that should be right. So is this supposed to be Fuke's official will
directed at Zia, the direct line of Fuke? Ugh. Well, I'll think some more
tomorrow and will enjoy any informative death threats that the list may
supply concerning my pompous translation. G'nite.

Have fun, folx.
