| Description: | This is a short account of an important ritual, given by a knowledgeable elder during one of our first recordings in the Puma area. | |
| The aim of the project is to provide a rich linguistic and ethnographic documentation of two highly endangered but almost totally undocumented languages in eastern Nepal, Chintang and Puma. These languages belong to the Kiranti family of Tibeto-Burman. Chintang is spoken by the Chintang Rai in Chintang Village Development Committee (VDC) of Dhankuta district. Puma is spoken by the Puma Rai in Diplung, Mauwabote and Pauwasera VDCs, to the south of Khotang bazar in Khotang district. Both these districts are situated in the eastern hilly part of the country. | ||
| This is about an important Puma ritual in which a hen is sacrificed in the name of the phagu festival and ŋapoŋ has to perform this. The discourse gives an introduction, and describes the history, meaning and ways of performing the mangen ritual. | ||
| Puma language is used mostly, but some Nepali loans occur. | ||
