Village - Internal.

Locality and Social Groups. - Komuluk.

i(Haci Ylmaz)'s mother:- not enough real 'komuluk' here. Too many people concerned with getting as much money as possible. I was ill, cld. not eat, weak, my
neighbour - i(1021)'s wife, - came in and said she would help me, but at that time I was too ill to eat. Then I got a bit better - my daugher-in-law wanted to
make me some soup. Nothing to make it from. She went to i(1021)'s wife (where she knew there was plenty of meat) and asked for a few bones for soup. This
neighbour, who had talked so much about helping, offered 3 bones and asked 20 kuru for them. (Then some remark like - call that komuluk - which I guessed from
the contempt in her voice).
k<meanness of neighbour>
NA
