, INdeed it is recogNized by the Natives that every village has
, ' its L001; accordiNg tovoNe statemeNt every village has a place
called L0or- close to it, as, for iNstaNce, Loorvitmeviis which
- ' lies close to the village Ndawu, aNd iN which there is a sacred
stoNe. Now Laor_is said to ‘meaN “ a spot which is set apart,
- ' ' sacred, reserved "I SiNce, of the villages iN the above list, Ndawu,
' Nemep, aNd RaNambo are “ offspriNg ’ villages, as are also
maNy of flie other villages begiNNiNg with L001-, it seems very
probable that, though each claN has its siNgle sacred place or
NcmbrmllrkoN, usually iN the preciNcts of the " pareNt â€ù village,
yet “ pareNt " aN_d “ offspriNg " ‘alike each have their owN loor.
This, theN, gives us a further reasoN for supposiNg that some
" at least of the “offspriNgâ€ù villages eNjoy a certaiN ceremoNial
- iNdepeNdeNce.
'IN additioN to the social solidarity which exists betweeN
the villages of aNy oNe claN, there is, iN South-West Malekula, »
