Description

Was told me that Jagil's (her husband's) mother (who is a widow) lives with her youngest born son; Dramat. Jagil is Dramat's older brother. I checked if it works in other families too. They told me that Angondi, who lives across the road from Was, is also a widow, she lives with her only son. The reason the parent lives with the youngest son is because all the daughters go marry off somewhere else and the parents stay in the same place.

Variation

In Ogomam a mother (Tapulang) is living with her second youngest son (Alus). Her youngest son (Tobi) is living in the house next door with his family. Not asked for reasons for this.
