Bear in mind, Matthias, and everybody, that REIK, KYAM, KADOHSare metonom=
ies.  If
you want the real meaning of this line, you need to
see these items as standing for concepts which they symbolize visually.
I gave you a bit of a clue with KADOHS, which is the Teonaht version
of Caduceus, Hermes' staff.  I said "medicine."  Can you guess the other
institutions that the other words symbolize?

Matthias, I'm afraid you've lost me a little too!  You've given a very de=
tailed
word-for-word translation of your translation, but how does it shake out =
in
readable modern English?  Let me give it another try.
