Where they gambled,
With the ä‛ko′yo wheel,
With the ä‛ko′yo wheel.
This song was also composed by Mo′‛ki, the wife of Grant Left-hand. The expression here rendered “my home” is literally “where I belonged,” as, since the death of her children, she speaks of the spirit world as her own proper home. In this song she tells how she found her departed friends playing the game of the ä‛ko′yo or bä′qăti wheel, as described in [Arapaho song 49].

Hi′niso′nihu′—Hi′yeye′!
