Note 75.1 — THE SCOPE OF SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY
Reading edition
A. W. Howitt, Native Tribes of South-East Australia, p. 208. Similarly among tribes on the Hunter River “a man is not permitted to speak to his wife’s mother, but can do so through a third party. In former days it was death to speak to her, but now a man doing so is only severely reprimanded and has to leave the camp for a certain time” (A. W. Howitt, op. cit. p. 267).
