From Chemasuet
As I was told, I will also tell my
daughter's :-
-Don't marry a man from Koony or
Kaptama, they are proud, drunkards
and only pay part dowry.
-Dont marry a man from Kamneru,
they strungle people and don't pay
dowry.
-Dont marry a man from Mosoop,
they don't like or visit their in-laws
though they pay dowry.
-Dont marry a man from Bok or
Cheptais, they are too educated, too
religious, too superstitious and
landless though they respect their in-
laws.
-Dont marry a man from Chesurup,
Chebwek, Chesiro, Kabero, Kamarang,
Kaptoboi or soomek because they are
born criminals.
They are notorious wife beaters and
law breakers and always they are on
the run from the hand of the law.
-Dont marry a man from Kongit,
Kaberwa, Koshook, Sambocho,
Kaimugul, Kipsikirok, Soosaplel, Saria
and Kaboriot.
They will leave you in the house for a
month while they go hunting wild
animals in the forest.
-Dont marry a man from Chemondi,
Terem, Kapsambu and Chebich.
You will die from hard work of
tending irrigated tomatoes and
onions.
-Don't marry a man from Masaek,
Kipchori, Chelebei and Chongeywo.
You will be a permanent donkey
driver between Chepyuk and Chwele.
-Don't marry a man from Toywontet,
Chewangoi, Kapkurongo, Chepkube
and Kimaswa.
They are idlers and verandah seaters
in their markets.
-Dont marry a man from Kimama,
Kang'anga, Terem, and Kiptaywa.
Their wet black soils will crack your
beautiful feet.
-Don't marry a man from those Tesos
scattered on the Rocky escapments of
Kipchiria, Kamutiong, Sacho and the
dry Sandy Kapkoto.
I don't want to drink busaa stirred by
a hand from a dead man.
-Don't marry a man from Bukusus.
I don't want your in-laws to
permanently camp in my home.
-Also avoid men from Kapsongoywo,
Kaptayeek, Kapsangula, and Kamarat
clans.
I don't want to argue with prophets
when demanding for dowry. They
aren't friendly and might decide to
give me one donkey as dowry and kick
me out.
But marry whoever your heart loves
from the above prople because you
are the one to choose for me and you
will remember I warned you in case of
any problem.
That I was told and I have told you as I
was told.
