Note 4 — Chapter IV · THE VILLAGE DAIRY

Reading edition

It will be noticed that in only two of the dairies did the palikartmokh belong to the Karsol, and in each case he looked after the buffaloes of his own father, Mutkudr also tending the buffaloes of Nudriki. Idjen was the son-in-law of Kutadri, and Palpa had married a Kars woman, who was not, however, closely related to Potheners, to whom he was acting as dairyman. Kosners and Tidjkudr were given to me as examples of a practice in which a man of one clan works for one of another,4 and they received the same wages as in the case of the tarvalikartmokh (see p. 62).

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
