6. Names.

A child is named on the seventh or eighth day after birth by the old

women. If it is much given to crying they consider the name unsuitable

and change it, repeating those of deceased relatives. When the child

stops crying at the mention of a particular name, they consider that

the relative mentioned has been born again in the child and name it

after him. Often the name of the sept is combined with the personal

name as Lingam-Lachha, Lingam-Kachchi, Panki-Samaya, Panki-Ganglu,

Panki-Buchcham, Nagul-Sama, Nagul-Mutta.
