Lower drum - the houses much decayed - one scrap of skull from Sangpurr. Ung clan - 2 lower khels - these can touch anything eg. apotia corpses - tigers - no gennas - had killed tigers - therefore carved tiger heads on 2 log-drums. The upper khel is the founder's clan - forbidden to touch tigers - log-drum has a man's head - in honour of the founder. |
