Note 2 — Chapter XXVIII · THE CLANS OF THE TODAS

Kars resembles Nòdrs in having two kudr differing greatly in size. Kutadri is the head of one, which comprises all the members of the family given in Table 7. It has two pòlm, headed by Kutadri and Peithol. The other kudr has eight pòlm, of which the chief men are Parkurs (8), Pidrvan (9)2, Piutolvan (10), Kudrvas (11), Kutthurs (12), Mongudrvan (13), Kiunervan (14), and Keitazvan (15). Till recently there appear to have been only five pòlm in the Kars clan, each of which has lately been divided into two. There is a very marked disproportion in the number of members of some of these divisions; thus the pòlm of Parkurs has sixteen males in five more or less distinct families, while others have only three or four males. Nevertheless each of the latter would contribute the same amount towards joint expenses of the clan as the sixteen males of the pòlm of Parkurs.
