Village - Internal.

Locality and Social Groups. - Komuluk.

Discovered that i(6587) had given us potatoes which she herself had had to buy - now she wld. have to buy more. Protested, and said we wld. give her money for
the potatoes she'd given us. She refused - said on no account would she take money - komuluk. It was right to give to one's neighbours when they were without.
k< money shameful between neighbours>
{c: i(6587) was our servant, and very poor, so we were naturally worried about her feeding us. but a tactical error to offer money.- recicrocity in kind!}
