Note 165 — Chapter XIII
Reading edition
It appears, however (Journ. Anthr. Inst. XX, 62), to be only on ceremonial (Muni) occasions that anything like general intercourse occurs, termed Wira-jinka, then it is promiscuous. The Dippa-malli relation is not permanent (Journ. Anthr. Inst. XX, 61), and the mebaia husband receives a present. If the Dippa-malli "group" is not permanent, it does not appear why Dr Howitt speaks of a "group" at all.
