The chief village, Kulhem or Kulthlem, is near Kanòdrs. [[678]]The only other village of importance is Konikwòr, near Paikara. At the time of my visit several of the clan were living at a place called Kultu. This is not properly a Toda village, the people living in a hut of the Badaga form near a tea plantation in order to sell the buffalo dung to the planters.
This clan now numbers only six males and three females, all belonging to one family (72). They have neither kudr nor pòlm. [[679]]
[1] By this I mean that there are now living thirty females who were born members of the Nòdrsol, but since a woman becomes a member of her husband’s clan, most of these are now members of other clans. I give the numbers of each clan in this form because it brings out several features of interest in relation to the relative fertility of different clans, the proportions of the sexes, &c. [↑]
[2] Pidrvan died soon after my visit. [↑]
[3] For the story how the Kuudr people came to lose the right of providing the palol for the Nòdrs ti, see p. [114]. [↑]
[4] This was evidently a council consisting of the members of the clan only. [↑]
