ǂnerru and her husband

ǂnerru and her husband

Lucy Lloyd |xam notebooks

|hanǂkass'o (Klein Jantje) (VIII)

A young man of the Early Race marries ǂnerru (also a person of the Early Race). They are out collecting 'Bushman rice' and fill their bag, so the husband asks |nerru to use her kaross. She does not want to and he snatches it away from her. ǂnerru's bowels come pouring down. She replaces her bowels and returns to her mother's house. Her husband comes along looking for his wife, but ǂnerru's mother is angry with him for his lack of understanding.
