Description:Monday 14th August. Cheme, Village Hearing, part I. Phillip Kumolum, son of Timinka, B of Sonny Mgaalim, accused of flirting and arranging assignment with Rachel T:eewa, D of Joseph. The problem is that they are close kin of the same Nkwodo clan: Timinka’s MZDDD = Rachel, so she should call Philip a kênê. Kumolum sent a letter to Rachel proposing a secret meeting in the Pre-school area. She replied. The girl’s letter was found in the boy’s house by his Z, thus it all came into the open. Mika, who is the girl’s MB, took the leading role. (Chene was also accused of sleeping with Mbata’s D, because she was staying with Leo. In fact, he had just come to learn tpile wee from Leo). Pikwa harangued the couple never to do it again. Mgaalim represented the girl’s side (through his relation to Kpâputa), especially angry with the boy. The boy was told that but for my presence he would have been beaten. The girl had her hair cut off by Peter Taakî! She is only 16 or 17, and a recognized beauty. He is maybe 21. NB: This is a case of possible double incest: Should be no sexual relations (a) inside the clan, (b) within the same village, because of presumed close kinship. One theoretical problem with intra-clan relations, is that the clan will lose its kêndap: “girls are like pigs” they bring money! Continues onto next session, r06_v13. N.B: Camera fogged for first 10 minutes or so. Between approx. 00:40:45:00 and 00:41:20:00 wide-angle lens is removed from camera. Hazy sight only slowly disappears after some minutes.
