| text: | Gawang watches over the numerous taboos and sees that they are observed. When once I ask Dzeamang, a young man of Ang clan, whether during the meals in the field-houses he too may eat from the same dish as the girls of Ben clan, he answers quite spontaneously: "Of course, I should like to eat with them, but Gawang sees it." Therefore he does not dare eat with commoners. |
