pangawa

Updated: May 25, 2025

If stones are left on either side, but not enough to proceed, then there is an impasse, and the game must be played over again. The price of the daughter of a pangawa is from one to three gongs, and to obtain a wife from the family of a pangin costs a parang, a knife, or some beads. Women assist at childbirth, which takes place within the room, near the door, but generally no blian is present.
