Greenlandic Mythology
- Malerssorniaĸ loses his sister Ujangmiugaĸ to supernatural beings and attempts to give chase to rescue her by using supernatural dogs to travel. When his family cautions him against this endeavour, he refers to his name: "Atera eqquutittariaqarpara, malersuiguma iluanaassavunga" ('I must fulfill the meaning of my name, thus I will be rewarded when I give chase.'). He finds his sister and brings her home. [1]
