text:

The Wang-hu-him eats separately

text:

All the other clans eat together

text:

Wang-hu-him intermarries with all the (Ben) clans of Dzing-shong-ban and Nan-dzong-ban. The Wang-him intermarries with the two other morungs too.

text:

(91) The Ding-shong-ban and Nau-dzang-ban do not intermarry, but intermarry only with the Wang-him-ban. (This seems strange as there must be a shortage of women for these morungs.) The same rules apply for dancing.
