When the village was founded both morungs were built on the same day. There is one official, the Ben-ba, of Lukyem clan and Ding-dong morung, who acts at the morung gennas and when a (34) morung is built. He functions for both morungs and kills the sacrificial animals. The village was founded by the Ang clan and the Wang-nau clan and the Lukyem clan. When there is an eclipse the Ang clan people shout: "Don't eat it" and the Lukyem clan people shout: "Eat it, eat it". The other clans don't shout at all. |
