honorary position in Kongan, the 'Rhemba' |
| text: |
In addition there are two honorary positions, the Rhemba, one for Chingha and Lingba and one for Khang-kai and Yong-sha. (67) They only function at the building of a morung and when a slit drum is brought in. In both cases they execute the first strike against the tree or trees for the main posts (see notebook 7 p. 16 following). For this occasion only the Rhembas receive parts of the sacrificed animals. Additionally each gets the use of a field annually. |
