Moonspear amma

the lodge of the seal hunters was large enough for five grown wolves, with a sleeping-place to one side, an area for preparing meat in the middle, and a farther place to lie along the opposite wall. chakliux had often slumbered with nasamik and kannoyak and raiyuk alike, seeking the warmth of mingled bodies through the winter.
"kannoyak, path-finder man. he is my brother, and will live here with you."
there was a cache beside the front entrance, a large clearing ringed with stones. pelts of various stiffness and need of discarding hung here and there; a man's place, now that nasamik had taken her softness away.
he looked to tullik now, motioning for her to enter. 
"a lodge belongs to a woman. this is yours as much as it is his."
chakliux did not enter, and would not until she bid; this, her first privilege as a wife.
