Note 1 — Chapter XXVII · RELATIONS WITH OTHER TRIBES
Reading edition
The Todas call a Badaga Mav,1 which seems to be a form of the Canarese word for father-in-law or maternal uncle. The origin of this term is said to have been that when the Todas first met a Badaga, they asked his name and he answered “Mav.” A Badaga who performs certain services for the palol is called tikelfmav. Certain elders of the Badagas are also called madtin.
