text:

Wakching 26/8/1936. In the morning I tried to find out several of the Ao institutions and concepts with the help of the schoolteacher who understands Ao. This has the great advantage that one immediately discovers it if there is an equivalent Konyak institution, while it is often difficult to hear anything about it as the people frequently do not understand what one is asking about.
