A Pauuiiga uiau luaiTies a Purula vvouiaii; the olFspriiig {amba kwerka) is 
Pultarra. 
A Pui’ula man marries a Panunga woman ; the offspring is Kumarra. 
A Kumarra man marries a Pultarra woman; the offspring is Purula. 
A Pultarra man marries a Kumarra woman ; the offspring is Panunga. 
The Kumarra and Purula are always separated from the Panunga and 
Pultaria in camp, and, if the camping ground happens to be on a creek, the two 
camps are formed on opposite sides, but even in the open plain there is a clear line 
of separation. 
At every camp there is a meeting ground [Un-iinkuncha) set apart, where 
the men a.ssemble to hold social converse. ISIo lubra must intrude upon this spot, 
whether the men are present or not. The lubras, also, have at each camp a 
general meeting plac(‘, which they call erlukiverra; here all the unattached 
women and children of the tribe camp together. No man would think of visiting 
this camp ; it i.s, in fact, sacred against intrusion from male adults, though 
children are allowed to go anywhere. 
Kumarra and Purula women are allowed to talk to Panunga and Pultarra 
men. Panunga and Pultarra women speak with Purula and Kumarra men. 
Where the head of a family is Panunga (his lubra, of course, being Purula), 
men of the Panunga and Pultarra castes may visit his camp (^mirra), but 
no man of Kumarra or Purula castes may do so. Women of the Purula and 
Jvumarra* castes may visit the mirra at any time, so also may the sister of the 
man if she be older, luit not otherwise. Panunga women may also visit the mirni 
during the absence of the man. 
Pultarra women, being inura\ to the Panunga man, must not visit his 
)]iirra under any circumstances, nor must they come anywhere near it. 
When a Purula is head of a family (his wife being a Panunga) his mirni is 
visited only by men of the Purula and Kumarra classes. Pultarra and Panunga 
women visit at any time, and a Purula woman may visit in his absence. A. 
Kumai’ra woman may not visit at all, she being niura. 
A Pultarra husband and Kumarra wife are visited by Panunga and Pultarra 
men only. Purula and Kumarra women visit at any time; Pultarra women only
