Not all the men's houses of Wakching received tribute. The only allies of the Bala men were some of the morungs of Wanching, and as that village was of the same size and strength as Wakching, no question of tribute arose. Neither did the Ang-ban exercise overlordship over any other village, but the Ang, in his capacity as chief of Wakching, continued to receive tribute from twelve villages, even though he was a weak and ineffectual man without much influence in his own community, as will be seen later in this chapter. |
