Counts reflect the Atlas catalogue. A link may represent a recording, a publication or an association with a local tradition.
Hinrich Rink’s English collection of 1875 spells the name in the Greenlandic tale Kagsagsuk. The Atlas uses Kaassassuk. The difference is useful when searching an older edition’s index for the same figure. Rink’s page lets readers follow how the orphan uses the strength he gains.
