text: The Tanhai men came from the plains and went along the Dikhu, they first settled at Chinlong and then founded Tanhai. Tanhai was founded by a man of Riem-rem clan and with him came a man of Lung-ye-shem clan (the clan of Shopong). With them came also "on the same day" the Ang clan. (6) There are no "mixed" groups - the boys and girls work separately on the fields. First the Yanhai morung was built.
