text: His genealogy is as follows. (see p 151 for diagram). Sha-long's main wife is from the Ang clan of Joboka. In addition he has four Ben women from his own village. One has a son and two daughters. These are not Ang-yang-ba but Ang-ha-ba. (152) Another woman has a daughter. The other two have no children. Should Sha-long's son and heir, Tang-nyu, die before him, then the next in line is his brother Tun-wang, then Ki-wang's sons. There are three morungs in Zu-nyu, first Wang-ham-ba, the Angs, second Jam-man-zong-ba, third O-he-zong-ba. Two and three apparently do not have morung Angs.
