The general term for addressing women is ndgrdin," that for 
addressing wife is “jhi.” 
Prom this vocabnlary, it will appear, that while certain words are 
common to the Bhunjiya and Savai-a dialects, there are others which are 
peculiar. 
Manners and Customs. — For marriage the bridegroom has to servo 
the bride’s father for a certain period (4 years or so) — a custom which 
is met with also amongst the Gonds and some other tribes, when the 
father of the bridegroom is not in a position to make the needful pre- 
sents to the father of the bride. Amongst the Komars, however, there 
does not appear to be any alternative. This is probably owing to their 
chronic impocuniosity, as they are bad cultivators, worse than the 
Gonds, and subsist mainly upon sport and woodcraft. 
The men drink, but not the women. As amongst the Bhunjiyas, 
greater purity is expected of the women, than of the men. The latter, 
for instance, are allowed to partake of food cooked by Gonds, whereas 
the former are not. 
The young are buried, and the old cremated. 
Oots.—Aa in the case of the Bhunjiyas, it is rather strange, that 
the names of the gots should be similar to those of the Gonds, from 
whom they appear to be radically different in language. Some of the 
gots named to me are Neitain, Sori, Markam ^c. 
Names of men — Lachman, Jharia, Budhu, Bahadur, ^o. 
Names of women. — Nari, Lachini, Dukhdei ^’o.
