Note 3 — Chapter XV · FUNERAL CEREMONIES

In the puzhutpimi ceremony a man digs up a little earth in front of the entrance to the buffalo pen. The digger must belong to the Tartharol, if the dead man is one of the Teivaliol, and vice versâ; thus, at the funeral of Pursevan (53)3 of Kuudr, the earth was dug by Kedjeri (6) of Nòdrs. In this case the Tartharol were told to send someone to dig, and they selected Kedjeri.
