= The story is actually pretty dull. "DaQtIq" participated here
five years ago. In order to explain his name, he described his
long hair. Every day he formed a ponytail. So when I arrived at
qep'a' wejDIch and someone said to me "I'm DaQtIq", I told him to
spin and moved my fingers in a circle. DaQtIq understood me right
away and started turning. As soon as he showed his back, I saw a
long ponytail.
