Kuudi. This is now one of the chief villages of the clan. It has a modern house, the largest and most highly ornamented Toda dwelling which I saw on the hills.
Tavatkudr is a village of one hut and a dairy. It was this dairy which was burnt during my visit as a consequence of the revelation of ti secrets to me by Kaners, who lived at this village.
Eparskòdr is an ancient village at which the first Toda died (see p. [400]). At present the village consists of a dairy only.
Kavidi is situated in the Wainad, not far from Gudalur. I did not visit it, but, so far as I could gather, it contained no object of interest and there was no evidence that it was an ancient settlement.
The clan has several funeral places, partly owing to the fact that the Kavidi people are at too great a distance from the top of the hills to hold the etvainolkedr in the ordinary funeral place. The Kavidi people, therefore, have two special funeral places, called Sudvaili for males and Mòmanothi for females. The second funeral, or marvainolkedr, was, however, held at the regular places of Meroln and Pamarkol. [[672]]
A disused village in the Wainad is called Potvaili. The termination vaili of this village and of the male funeral place only occurs here, and is probably borrowed from some other language, possibly from the Kurumbas.
One abandoned village of this clan, Nongarsi, seems to have been situated near Ootacamund. Its Badaga name is Kettarimand, and it is possibly one of the villages mentioned by Harkness.
Kusharf
The people of this clan are called indifferently Kusharfol or Umgasol. There seemed to be no doubt that Kusharf is the chief village, but, like Piedr, it is little used, and Umgas is coming to be regarded as the etudmad.
The Kusharfol seem to be in some way related to the Piedrol. They share with the latter the privilege of providing the palol for the Nòdrs ti, and the two clans are not allowed to intermarry. They have the same nòdrodchi, Teipakh, and it seems possible that they were originally two sub-divisions of one clan.
