Used as exchange items with between those affined or agnate relations. If an animal is killed by a relative's arrow, part of the meat is acquired by the relative. Since reeds grow near bodies of water, those areas lacking in water receive their reeds by trade. If broken, reeds are carefully repaired with glue and sinew.
