Note 3 — Certain Gentes Called to Take Part in the Ceremony
Reading edition
The Little Rock of the marsh is spoken of as the Gentle Rock because it is a special life symbol of the people for whom there must always be peace and happiness. As a memorial of the finding of the Little Rock of the marsh the members of the Hoⁿ´-ga gens in cutting the hair of their little ones leave a fringe around the entire edge.
