ABSTRACT

There is another striking difference between them; the Azande rite causes the two ~ar t i e s to behave as we find cross-cousins behaving wherever cross-cousinship is recognised. The Hako, on the other hand, relates the two parties in the peace-making as father and son; those who take the initiative-the visitors-appoint one of their number as father: the hosts select one of their number to be the son.
