A Thevo can't go to another village till the 7th harvest is over. Afterwards he may go to another village, but he always must take with him his own food, as he is not allowed to eat any food cooked in another village. |

The Thevo doesn't do any ceremonies except eating first at gennas. When a man is cursed he doesn't go to the place in the jungle where the actual cursing and throwing of spears at a faggot of brushwood is done, but he may (16) utter a curse (verbally). |
