ko-ko-khas

So taking his bow he shot Ko-ko-khas the Owl, and with one of his feathers he struck Glooskap while sleeping. Then he awoke in anger, yet craftily said that it was not by an owl's feather, but by a blow from a pine-root, that his life would end. Then the false man led his brother another day far into the forest to hunt, and, while he again slept, smote him on the head with a pine-root.
