About this item
Description: |
We call father dyaadya and mother baava. Even my uncle's wife called our father dyaadya. We called our maternal uncles aak. The eldest maternal uncle is ik aak (elder aak) and younger maternal uncle is bichkn aak (junior aak). We also called our paternal uncles as aak. I called my older sister aaja, and my elder brother aaka. My brother’s wife refers to my elder sister as aaja.
My husband is a Buzava, and the customs of my clan differs from his. By upbringing, our women do not smoke, drink or swear. We address our husbands ‘you’ as opposed to ‘thou’. A Tersk woman will never cross a road to a man or even a boy. |
