| The One You Follow", "A Friend". Malerariit (those who follow one another) is a description of two friends spending a lot of time together. The word 'maleraraa' also means '(he) obeys/follows (him)'. The name could also have been bestowed upon a bearer as an invocation in order for the individual to be a good seal hunter, or be close to seals in his life, since 'malere(q)' is an shaman's language expression which means 'a seal being chased'. (J. Petersen: ordbogêraĸ 1967, p. 105) | ||||||
