Date: 25.1.18. Place: Oburaku (Kiriwina). In a note numbered J222, Malinowski recounts his observation of a dying woman. She utters a phrase -- apparently a plea to Topileta, the keeper of the underworld, to turn her back -- that includes the word 'naminitswoyta,' which literally means 'good-looking.' Malinowski notes that in this instance it also means 'alive,' since Topileta is said to pinch people, and if they bleed, they are 'naminitswoyta' and must return to the living. The information is written on the back of reused stationery, consisting of a partial, handwritten letter from Australian politician John Lemmon, probably to Elsie Malinowski, discussing progress of a campaign to improve working conditions for nurses.
