To Beat The Ground (with A Stone).
The" !kung" beat a stone upon the ground. My father's mother beat a stone upon the ground. She said: "Fall into the water ! Fall into the water!" And the thing (the lightning?) fell into the water.
A man does not beat a stone upon the ground. A woman beats a stone upon the ground.
My ("Tamme"'s) father's mother was "Ng- na". My mother's father was Little "Tamme"; and my mother's mother was "!karo- n'a". My father's father's father was Great "Tamme".
