Dzoavits and Mosquito

Dzoavits and Mosquito in
The Northern Shoshone
by Robert Lowie, 1909.


Here is the Latin you need to understand the story; I have linked to the story page by page with the Latin passages below:

p. 259

Cum uxore coire concupivit. 

(Dzo/avits) desired to have sex with his wife.

Mulier recubuit. 

The woman lay down.

Cruribus distentis Culex in vaginam silicem injecit, quo facto exiit.

When her legs were spread wide, Mosquito stuck a flint-stone into her vagina, and after he did this, he left.

Coitu completo Dzo'avits ortus est.

When he had finished having sex, Dzo'avits stood up.
