text: On the way home he had quite a lot of interest to tell about ties and animosities between individual morungs of the villages, for example Tanhai and Punkhung were friends with the Aukheang while they were enemies with the Balang. Only the Angban had no ties or special friendships as Chinyang said: "because it is not a real morung but like a large house", and has been founded only later.
