 The "Namutemi" remained a full month, and only after a month were people able to celebrate the 'bringing out' or the new chief.Some chiefs avoided eating the meat of dogs, (which only caused the stomach to bark), lions, elephants, and rhinoceros (for they are rulers of the wild), hippopotamus (for they give spots on the skin).Some could not even eat corn and beans cooked together or the leaves of vegetables, for this would brand them as poor.
