(136) Wangba and Dzing-wun intermarry. Dzing-wun and Lamun intermarry too, but not people of the same clan. Wang-ha-mien and the three Wang-shu clans don't intermarry. Nor do these Wang-shu clans intermarry among themselves. Lukyem and Wang-nau don't intermarry, even not of different morung. The two Ben clans of Dzing-wun intermarry with the Wang-shu-yien, even if of the same morung.
