The !ho

The !ho

Lucy Lloyd |xam notebooks

Dia!kwain (David Hoesar) (V)

<i>In a peculiar state of the atmosphere, in which sounds can be heard at a considerable distance, sitting, instead of standing, is recommended; for fear of evil consequences. Standing over those who are sitting, on account of its injurious effects, is also objected to, etc. In the Katkop dialect, by Díä!kwãin (L V.-20. 5559 rev.-5568 rev.).</i> The <i>!ho </i>can kill people who are standing over visitors and sticks can 'seek people' and 'strike' them dead if they stand still. If a person's teeth are 'above' or over their 'knees' they are standing over other people and can cause their deaths or make them ill.
