  the

   The 
  rending 
  of 
  the 
  natural 
  family 
  by 
  exogamy 
  seems 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  

   demanded

  order

  what 
  was 
  believed 
  to 
  be 
  a

  regula- 
  

   tion. 
  In 
  this

  Family 
  group. 
  The 
  parents 
  represent 
  both 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  Iru 
  Ihuga. 
  

  

  as 
  to 
  bind 
  together 
  by 
  the 
  natural 
  tie 
  of 
  kinship 
  the 
  different 
  gentes 
  

   composing 
  the 
  tribe. 
  This 
  tie 
  came 
  through 
  the 
  mothers 
  in 
  the 
  tribe. 
  

   Descent 
  in 
  the 
  gens 
  was 
  traced 
  solely 
  through 
  the 
  father. 
  The 
  

   fathers 
  held 
  the 
  gens 
  together 
  and 
  distinct 
  from 
  every 
  other 
  gens.
