Village - Internal.

Locality and Social Groups. - Komuluk.

Fatime and Yure, close neighbours, visit - 'akrabalk {kinship} yok, yalnz komuluk.' - komuluk iyi. They say that women don't have so much close akrabalk as
the men, but they depend a lot on komuluk. - espec.ly if gelin comes from another village and hasn't got close relatives in husband's village. Neighbours go
in and out of each other's houses. Talking, giving things.

They said they would send milk and tezek. I offered money - they refused point blank. Komuluk. To take money for services to neighbours is ayip.
